Yeah, Apple, but at the same time and unlike GNOME and Flatpak Apple actually did a decent implementation of system containers for applications that doesn't result in barely usable applications.
Comparing Flatpak or Gnome to Apple seems highly irrelevant in the context of this post. But, you do realize that neither Gnome, nor Flatpak is a trillion dollar company, right? Also, since when are Flatpak apps "barely usable"?
Sure, just try to get a password manager to communicate with a browser both on Flatpaks. Things like that should work, that's what people expect, or at least should prompt the user for permission to communicate like Apple does.
Hopefully support for that will come through desktop portals.
