I already have heared about Bottles sandboxing capabilities, but, how this differs from standard Flatpak sandboxing system? Is really secure execute any Windows Software using Bottles? (yes, every machine have his vulnerabilities blah blah)

Huh? Why do you compare bottles, which is a way of simplifying running windows applications via wine, with flatpaks which contains native linux applications?

Because Bottles is distributed via Flatpak, which is...

Safe. Sandboxed.

Because...

Your bottles are isolated from the system and will only hit your personal files when you decide.

The full-sandbox is provided and pre-configured only using the Flatpak package (highly recommended).

All other packages still have access to the partial sandbox which isolates the bottle files and prevents them from accessing your homedir.

Apparently the "logic" behind this is simply, "because both isolate stuff".
