flatpaks are all updated at once, just like distro packages, so yeah you might need to commands, but that’s still very different to having each application update itself (and the security hell implied by that)

Also I think pkcon can manage your updates across various backends (unless you are on Arch, where I think there are both technical & ideological objections to having a simple tool that just works)
