Always has been.
But to be fair, openSUSE was my first linux distro after Windows and YaST had been helpful to me before I learned how to use console commands. And then I switched to another distro.

I you are asking about permissions so yes. I often limit access filesystem paths, dbus proxy, devices and network.
Fediverse is tribalistic like such communities often are.
Flatpak was started by RH employee but has been developed with significant community effort.
Flatpak uses ostree, which was originally created in GNOME for GNOME OS. And GNOME has contributors not only from RH but form Endless, Collabora, Purism and others.
Flatpak can work with OCI remotes, this is what RH more interested in. And Flathub uses only ostree. OCI remotes are used in Fedora Flatpaks repacked from fedora packages with the runtime based on fedora. But who use it anyway.
Flathub itself is independent community effort. It uses org.freedesktop.Platform based runtimes which are not based on any distro.
XDG Portals are shaped by Flathub maintainers and applications developers where RH also doesn't play significant role.
I use flatpaks mostly. Flatpak dependencies (runtimes) are stored separately from the host system so and don't bloat my system with unwanted libraries and binaries. App data and configs are stored separately and better organized. Everything runs in sanboxes. I use overrides extensively. All these are very convenient for me.
Where can I track package versions without installing? https://packages.debian.org/trixie/ and https://packages.debian.org/unstable/ show outdated packages.
The problem with Debian testing is that packages are not fresh, neither packages are fresh in sid. So, Debian is not a replacement for rolling distros like Arch Linux or openSUSE Thumbleweed
As alternative to the RHEL and its clones maybe. But there is no alternative to Fedora in Debian (with exception to Ubuntu and derivatives) family, even Sid consists from outdated packages.
I rather say "Monero" even if I dislike this coin and the community for various reasons. I need to agree that the Monero role in the wide crypto landscape is quite unique at least for now.
The bigger part of the fediverse doesn't like anything related to crypto and especially NFT and web3. As a social network and a subculture the fediverse will have some effect on adoption of these ideas but the result is unclear.
I'd say that crypto and fediverse have a little intersection and mostly exist in the different echo-chambers as for now.
And ChromeOS is even more popular.
There are more idealistic people in the community that technical. It is hard to discus technical blockchain things: consensus, state, contracts, zkp and how those could be useful for the further improvements of the protocol and the ecosystem. The development is slow as the result with a lack of community vision about the future of the protocol. The situation is slowly changes as the coin gains more popularity.
