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?

I know right? I was surprised because I thought Linux was more concerned about efficiency but there's all sorts of options for everyone I suppose.
