That would make a lot of sense indeed (though the default would still need to be agreed on). But unfortunately, asking for any kind of user preference to be added to a GNOME application is usually a lost cause. GNOME has a
strict "take it or leave it" policy.

I actually agree that it makes sense to have a preference for this. We discussed it in the past but gave up because it required effort. The current Software Sources page is not designed to allow you to reorder sources in arbitrary ways. It would be easy to expose a switch for the current "prefer flatpak vs. prefer RPM setting," but that might not be powerful enough for what users actually want, e.g. it doesn't allow you to prefer Fedora flatpak > Fedora RPM > Flathub, or Flathub > Fedora RPM > Fedora Flatpak. I think this is probably a "help welcome" area.

Of course, users have the final choice when installing.
