In Timing with curl (2010)You will most likely get a malicious AppImage from some website because there is no default central store with such packages.
You could argue that there is a freedom with AppImage that you are not bound to a Store. But that would not be correct, because you can self-host both snaps and flatpaks, if you really need to.
With snaps, you have more fine-grained security privileges. For example, "httpstat" [1] is a network utility to benchmark the access to a website. As a utility, it only requires access to the network. With snaps, the packager can only permit access to the network, and no access at all to the user's files or anything else.

In Comparing LibreOffice Versions: AppImage, Flatpak, and SnapHTTPStat https://github.com/davecheney/httpstat now uses the HTTP Tracing library to provide some pretty neat graphs, letting you visualise the HTTP Tracing output.
