How come? We don't ask the user whether they want their settings and data deleted for non-Flatpak apps in any other context. What's different about Flatpak?

Comment 2 Alois Wohlschlager 2021-03-09 21:42:24 UTC

Unlike in traditional package managers, the requested functionality is available in the flatpak CLI.

So it's a "now we actually can" situation, I see.
