Suggestion

It would be nice if you would like to add an optional libre section to all https://flatpak.org/setup/ instructions (before the "Restart" section):

Optionally, allow only free software

To disallow nonfree software, run:
flatpak remote-modify --subset=floss flathub

For example, it does not allow you to install https://flathub.org/apps/ru.yandex.Browser for example, because it's listed as Proprietary (see https://flathub.org/apps/search?q=Yandex%20Browser)

However, even free software-only users can forget to run this option, so there's no guarantee that they will install only free software from flatpak. But at least it is a step in the right direction.
