IMO, same reason they have their own repo, which eventually feeds into Red Hat enterprise, to have a trustworthy, curated set of safe (ish) software that's had eyeballs on it. A worthy enough goal, but that said, it applies a lot less to flatpaks. I personally used to remove theirs because I didn't like having multiple sources, now I'm on Bazzite which ships with flathub.
This is pretty much how Ubuntu turned into the shitshow it is now.
I don't see much of a reason to create a customized flatpak, since at this point you might as well just create a binary for dnf.
