Flatpak actually can handle CLI-only apps: for example, see mosh <https://github.com/flathub/org.mosh.mosh> or appstream-glib <https://github.com/flathub/org.freedesktop.appstream-glib>. They are hidden on the Flathub website, and that is by design <https://github.com/flathub/linux-store-frontend/issues/184#issuecomment-510261881> .
