I don’t get what your point is.

Should flathub remove the warning or proprietory software?

And why do you think snapstore would be any better in that regard?

Can someone please help me out? I don’t get it

This seems like the right way - informing users, those who don’t care don’t care with or without. I’d say that’s fully withing the freedom philosophy

Not much, apparently.

if you want to compete with Canoncial’s Snapstore

says it all about your mindset, you think big numbers are good regardless of context, as if google play wasn’t enough of a warning for other distribution platforms

I was mildly annoyed the other day by a conceptually similar warning about some software I was installing from F-droid. The annoying part was that unlike this flathub one it wasn’t completely clear how exactly the app was using the dangerous features I was being warned about, but I had done my research and knew I wanted to install it anyway. Took me a moment to remember that for a lot of people it probably helps to be reminded of the risks.

Then I went to install the same thing on someone else’s phone with Google Play. No warnings, but I had to scroll quite a long way down past ads for competitors and presumably malware-laden copies with confusingly similar names before finding the app whose name I’d typed in the search field.
