When you install the first flatpak from discover, the displayed download size is much larger than what many people would expect, because only a sum of app+runtime size is shown to the user. I have seen pleople spreading FUD about flatpak apps being generally much larger. To prevent, it would be better so split the displayed  download size into app and runtime. After all, the size of regular packages does also not include their dependencies either.
