I am not sure how i feel about it in general so far, nixos package manager seems pretty powerful. But im not one to jump on flatpaks. Is this the future of linux though?

One thing that kinda bothers me about flatpaks, it kinda centralizes the application repository to flathub.org

No, it really doesn't. Anybody is welcome to start their own seperate flatpakrepo. Fedora already does this. Any organization could do the same, if they chose to.

most arent so far, where as with, typical rpm or deb repositories there were many

Most projects haven't found any value in maintaining their own flatpak repositories. We considered it at one point for openSUSE Aeon/Kalpa, but decided it's un-necessary duplication of work.
