Yup, what makes flatpak more akin to the open source spirit is that new submissions to flathub are open source and rely on a PR model

https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission/

https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pulls

And software that exists on flathub is open and accessible in their repositories

https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

Whereas snaps are a web based walled garden controlled by canonical

https://snapcraft.io/docs/using-the-snap-store

They both provide benefit as you explained, but flathub (flatpak’s default repo) is definitely more open in how it is handled
