A: It's not my blog
B: The author's point was that Flatpak solves a lot of pain points for developers on Linux with distribution that Appimage doesn't, and package managers certainly don't, and that if there's going to be companies like Valve and Redhat that are going all-in on that method, it would benefit the Linux ecosystem that's currently driving away developers in droves with fragmentation to consider that.
Personally I like Appimage for just being able to grab a file and run it, and I integrate Gear Lever updates by building my own repackaging infra to keep projects that use it updating via Gear Lever's Update All button. But I can completely commiserate with the idea that it isn't very useful for most users to have to come up with things like that themselves when Flatpak is easily integrated with Discover and other packagekit software updaters.
