    I said it helps prevent malware from being downloaded, not that it stops it completely.

        It is reasonable to assume that a verified Flatpak will have a lower chance of containing malware, since initial verification includes manual review (by a Flathub maintainer), and certain changes (like default permissions) also require manual review.

        So the way I see it, it does help, but not in a meaningful way.
