SUMMARY
I think it's better to add flathub repo as `user` repo by default, to avoid pollution of /var/tmp that can happen (https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/528 and https://github.com/endlessm/systemd/commit/6bdb355a9e515b7b84ac1f37747603d4db4267c7) on distro's that don't clean up this path (opensuse for example) and to avoid any use of polkit (no entering password's anymore on distro's that require it when working with flatpak). Another reasons for using `user` over `system` can be found here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441428#c6

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to discover settings.
2. Add flathub repo.
3. It will be added as `system` repo.

OBSERVED RESULT
Repo added as `system`.

EXPECTED RESULT
Repo added as `user`.
