You would think, but we have some fair conflicts between distros and upstream software.
Bottles is throwing the gauntlets down and said "we dont care about your bug if your NOT using the flat pack, if you got it from your distro its your distorts bug". A lot of other bits of software are moving this way because they just dont have the bandwidth to support the disros' nonsense (in their eyes)
Some software maintainers are looking at flatpack as a way to right size the effort in supporting users.

Two cases here:
* it's a legitimate upstream bug, but is being rejected because you are using a distro-packaged version, not an official upstream release. Reproduce the problem with the upstream release, report it, done.
* it's a distro-specific bug, you cannot reproduce it with an upstream release. In that case you should indeed report it to the distro, not upstream.
