I don't understand why. Is phosh installed and updated through flatpak? I would have to check on a fresh install to be sure.
Because Phosh as originally envisioned by Purism, would have all end-user applications distributed as Flatpaks. And I suppose for Mobian, flatpak is installed by default to avoid breaking that, and because it's useful for many people -- for a while, for example, Fractal (a Matrix client) was only distributed as a flatpak (something I think the Debian team has remediated )
