KDE has been interested in Flatpak for over a year. They even have a
KDE runtime and a couple of KDE apps packaged:

That's a good thing...but I noticed that the page you directed me to above
was just created a few weeks ago, May 30th, 2016. My point was while
people may well be working on it, most people don't know anything about it
- whereas snappy has been getting alot of press. Granted, it formally was
Ubuntu specific - but say what you want about Ubuntu, they do a great job
on marketing their brand. Flatpak may well be superior and "better
positioned" - however, unless people start discussing it and marketing it -
that won't make a difference and we'll have a situation where the vast
majority of applications are packaged for snappy and not Flatpak. Is that
a bad thing? I don't know - but it is usually the way things end up. Just
an observation.
