I maintain both packages in Fedora and flatpaks on Flathub, so I can
compare. The review to get an app to Flathub was as thorough as Fedora
package review. In some ways even stricter. It's not like "it builds,
it runs, you're good to go". They care about some standards, about
builds being verifiable etc.
The Flathub CI seems to be more extensive than what we have in Fedora.

Why? Apps come with permissions they require (which you can override
btw). Just because some apps require access to your whole filesystem
doesn't mean the isolation is a myth. You know the permissions, you may
decide not to use such an app. None of the flatpaks maintained by me
require this kind of access and are well isolated.
