Apparmor at least to my knowledge does have network permissions. Of course, it is an alternative avenue to the goal from what something like Docker does - in one direction you take the free for all permissions of Unix and try to restrict them more, in the other you isolate everything and add back in access.
You can argue semantics but either is a path to isolation.

not directly flatpak, but rancherOS is a pid 1 docker, where ALL apps run inside docker containers, so each app can be isolated from the next one.
My main issue with flatpak is coming from gnome devs... i don't trust then, as i don't trust systemd, pulseaudio devs... Everytime i see something coming from oracle, redhat, apple or microsoft, i step back and try to see the bigger picture... not that everything they do is bad, but they fucked up the final user several times already to improve their business, so i don't trust then

You are confused about the goals here. Flatpak has nothing to do with android.
