I believe it does.

You can check for yourself with "apt-cache show flatpak" – look for the
mentioning of libfuse2 in the Depends line (or use grep).

(Not running Ubuntu myself, but I checked against the jammy universe
Packages file on a mirror. In newer release it will be libfuse3)

  I believe Flatpak does not need libfuse2 to function, so this seems
  like a bug. I was trying to remove libfuse2 to check whether a
  specific AppImage would run without it, and encountered this behavior.
