I don't think I've ever read an opinion I agree with expressed this disagreeably before. The title is also weird given Valve doesn't officially support the Steam flatpak and AFAIK hasn't given any money to the flatpak devs.

I thought it was quite eloquent. The downvotes tell me it hit a nerve, and as another commenter says, the recent "field added in systemd so let's hang someone" fiasco lines up.

Most people downvoting almost certainly only read the title. I do agree with what's being said, I just don't like the style, but that's just a taste thing. The title is bad though, it's not relevant to the article and is factually wrong, unless I've missed an announcement of Valve have given Flatpak/Flathub guys money.
