Given that not all applications necessarily use the same libraries and versions, that's an issue you cannot avoid even with shared libraries.

So, yes are right; it could be an issue. But it doesn't strictly have to do with the containerization.

Neither Flatpak nor Snap do necessarily result in an increased memory usage because of containerization.

Yes, that's true. Go probably wasn't the best idea for a system daemon.
