the maddening truth of using Qubes
Regarding USB, yeah, the usb-proxy doesn't have support for all things. I think it comes down to stuff not implemented in Linux USBIP or USB support (I've had issues with some device controllers not actually implementing what they claim to implement).

Flathub just hit 1 billion total downloads
And not only that, the idea of portals is, IMO, misguided. See this view/bugreport when a flatseal user understands that even though they restricted permissions to access a certain area, the flatpak, itself, can ask to open files there and if OK'd that will be allowed. Their expectation is that with the overrides say "no access" it means "no access even if the flatpak asks very nicely". https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196

Mount a drive correctly in opensuse
Since you installed the programme via Flatpak, you should simply lack the necessary rights (https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/sandbox-permissions.html). You can extend the rights quite easily with https://github.com/tchx84/flatseal.

Where to file bug reports about "portals" ?
Yes, filed https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal/issues/196 a while ago, got no joy.

Flatpak or tarball?
One design feature than can turn into an issue in some scenarios (usually dev tools) is the permissions of a flatpak. In case I need to tweak things, I use Flatseal. I know you can manually do this from the command line but I don’t change permissions that often so I don’t bother learning how to do that.

Does the Flatpak Permissions Settings replace a tool like Flatseal?

So Ive bit the bullet.. and bought a steam deck and have a few questions
https://github.com/tchx84/Flatseal (Also on Discover. For security reasons, the Discover store installs apps as sandboxed "flatpak" apps. This one is used to view what each up can do and change the permissions of apps. May be required if the sandboxing breaks something, though usually not required.)

How secure is Steam's sandbox in terms of reading contents in $HOME ?
I believe it does. As an example if I try running Godot from the Steam flatpak, it won't be able to see any of the contents of my ~/Projects folder unless I explicitly allow the steam flatpak access to that directory that via flatpak's CLI options or using Flatseal
