@Blisterexe@citizenserious Because something else you have installed via flatpak has it listed as a dependency.
flatpak list --app --columns=application,runtime
This should tell you the deps I believe. I had this happen with Master PDF Reader's flatpak. It depended on very old libs. I removed the reader package which yanked the dep as well, then just installed the app another way. Not all apps are packaged by the project and sometimes are slow to update or get abandoned..
