It does make sense for at least one distro to be offering this, as there are numerous reasons to favor the traditional linux distro way of doing things. Flatpak is better for a lot of use cases, but it's missing a lot by not having a centralized system of checks and balances provided by a Linux distro.
Fedora Flatpak brings back a lot of the advantages of traditional Linux distributions, but unfortunately Fedora/RHEL likely won't be maintaining a Fedora Flatpak version of LibreOffice.
