Red Hat considers Xorg “deprecated” and will remove it in the next RHEL
Screen sharing seems to be a difficult problem to resolve. Zoom only just resolved this recently[1], Webex has been promising a fix for a while[2], and Skype still hasn't done anything[3].

Can we have an objective, non-FUD, user-centric comparison/discussion of Snap and Flatpak for 2021?
I have no idea if that is true or not, I haven't used Skype for more than a decade. But, an app running as a Flatpak can't directly create files in /etc/ even if that directory was exposed in the sandbox (which it isn't in the Skype flatpak, as you can see here), just like any other process running as a non-root user can't create files in /etc/ (unless your permissions on /etc/ are severely messed up). So if what you claim is true, it has nothing to do with Flatpak's sandbox or with portals. And since in the default configuration the pulseaudio daemon (which is running outside the sandbox) does not run as root either, I severly doubt that what you claim here is true at all.

What advantage does a Flatpak have over a distro package?
"I'm running FooLinux, I refuse to run Flatpak, and I want to use Fuse, and Citra, and MS Edge, and Minecraft Modpack Manager, and BoilR, and Yuzu! And they must all stay up-to-date! And I will not use Flatpak! They must be packaged specifically for FooLinux!"
