How can you believe this, they accidentally deleted user home directories and that wasn't even that long ago! It's not about just about malice or trusting the publisher, it's about ensuring that applications don't have access to stuff they shouldn't have access to.

Actually,this is not quite accurate, the flatpak version of Steam by default has readonly permission on music and pictures folders, but you can remove/tweak these using Flatseal to allow access only to what directory you want, that's the all point, no direct access to your home directory. In my opinion if a flatpak app need full access to your home directory, you might need to think twice about installing it and why they want all access to your home (seemless approach for end user installing the app?). All the default access granted to the Steam flatpak app are available in https://github.com/flathub/com.valvesoftware.Steam/blob/beta/com.valvesoftware.Steam.yml. The only thing that could required some tweak is controllers, other than that, some performance drop can be expected as well on some games due to some syscall been banned by flatpak by design as far as I know and experienced it for over a year now.
