Because it’s more inconvenience than help for users who are average or above

Shouldn't be a problem for you then right? 😄

    This is such a excellent unexpected original comeback, I will give you a chance to do another one.

    How to extract the content of a flatpak

    Which is something you presumably want to do because you don't want to use flatpak/ostree.

    The first step of course, is to install ostree. 🤨

    Then, via this very official method:

    ostree init --repo=repo --mode=bare-user
    ostree static-delta apply-offline --repo=repo some.flatpak
    ostree checkout --repo=repo -U $(basename $(echo repo/objects/*/*.commit | cut -d/ -f3- --output-delimiter= ) .commit) outdir
    

    This official solution looks very reliable.

    The impenetrable building blocks

    Searching vulnerability databases will obviously prove futile. Like the below sample entries (search limited to CVSS>=9.0 and Age<90d)

    libxml2 and sqlite are in the dependency tree of ostree itself of course. But really, nothing to see here.
