When the Flathub filtering is removed, most Fedora packages will be silently
replaced by Flatpaks, some of them very low quality (DEB rebuids) because
the Flathub versions are always greater than in Fedora.

Fedora Flatpaks are almost dead. Let's check this page:
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/releases/
Fedora 36: 22867 (RPMs) vs. 104 (Flatpaks).
^^^^ The link above says '3' for F36 Flatpaks
Fedora 35: 29801 (RPMs) vs. 104 (Flatpaks).
Fedora 34: 35742 (RPMs) vs. 92 (Flatpaks).
Comparing the raw number of RPMs v Flatpaks is not very relevant,
because the count for RPMs includes every single library, cli
tool, graphical app, whatever, while Flatpaks only count the
graphical apps, not the building blocks they comprise.
Better to compare Flatpaks to the number of RPMs containing
a .desktop file. None the less, I expect it would still show
that Flatpaks are the minority of Fedora deliverables.
