They want to make it as easy as possible for users to install trusted/safe software from both proprietary/free vendors. Ubuntu is the version of Linux designed to be used by your grandmother. >users can optionally add more repositories if they choose to do so. Which is why I brought up the webupd8 java instance having root access to thousands of machines. You give multiple repository support and suddenly users have to one find a way to add another repo, and second there is no way of removing software from those repositories if they do end up malicious. It's why I even use Ubuntu because I trust Canonical to make some sane decisions when vetting their repositories.
I would argue there are advantages for having a trusted party vetting my software repos.
>There is no downside to Flatpak's support for multiple repositories and ability to self-host repositories.
