I use flatpak and app images for different uses.

App images are like portable exe files for onetime use apps. Like Rufus

Flatpaks are like installable exes from the devs website. Used for apps I want to used and use again on my machine.

Yeah Flatpacks aren't really "competing" with Appimages the way they are with Snaps.
