You can view the LyX manifest and get an idea of its composition: https://github.com/flathub/org.lyx.LyX
Dependencies are usually updated regularly; there's a bot configured for that. Last time, suggestions were made that, in my opinion, were followed. As I mentioned before, it's possible to break the sandbox to allow LyX to integrate with other tools. You're right, it's nearly impossible to fully support LyX and achieve complete integration with additional software, but that doesn't mean it can't be useful to someone. The description includes a warning, adequately informing users about the package's capabilities; the decision ultimately rests with the user.
