It is great if the software is self-contained. Today the sandboxing
technology used is not good enough for software that needs to interact
with other software.

The only thing flatpacks and inclusive language have in common is that
it's an idea that looked nice on paper but worked out quite poorly in
practice. Then you should add BSD to the list. It is provided under less
restricitve license than GNU/Linux which in practice means that more
businesses that use it do only private development without merging back
to the public codebase which in turn drove BSD into obscurity. In its
days BSD was more attractive to business users because of the less
restricitive license but as Linux development continues and BSD
stagnates in comparison it is less and less attractive in spite of the
less restrictive license.

Thanks
