The article is speculative and not confirmed. It’s an opinion piece based a conference talk given by 2 software developers.
In a blog post last year, one of the developers from the conference, Sebastian Wick said that they are planning a way for flatpak to be able to communicate with systemd. In another blogpost, it says that they don’t want to make flatpak be dependent on Linux or exclusive to Linux systems. It seems systemd will be optional.
It will just be another situation like userdb or elogind/eudev where this component has to be implemented in other operating systems to be compatible, a big nothing burger.

Aka most of the flatpak maintainers.
Main gnome devs on Reddit are essentially saying “it sucks to be you” to systemd less distro users.
