I'm fine with using traditional package managers, is there any benefit to using Flatpak? (lemmy.world)

I went to install some software today (Gradia) which is only available via Flathub apparently, the install size is larger than my distro which feels like a bit much for a screenshot tool. What's the deal with the massive size of Flatpaks and is it really worth all the extra space? 4GB per application?

Thank you, that hasn't happened to me in some time, but I understand how Flatpaks avoid that now.
