Is it just me, or is packaging for Flatpak a nightmare?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bummer! Flathub doesn't want me to use Gnome 3.38, since it's EOL :-(
What actively supported distro still uses GNOME 3.38?
I had assumed, since I can do
flatpak install org.gnome.Sdkand select 3.38 (there are even older 3.x versions to select from), that they left it for older GTK apps that are not (yet) compatible with newer runtimes.
