Betterbird is just a small soft fork of Thunderbird, managed by a hand
full of people. The "head" maintainer who brought Betterbird to life
once worked for Mozilla and was kicked out because of reasons.
The whole Betterbird project depends completely on Thunderbird and it's
source code. So if you don't urgently really need some of the little
tweaks or small bugfixes just use Thunderbird.

Yes, he could. Or he could install Thunderbird from the repos, or
Claws Mail, Sylpheed, whatever. Every mail program from the Fedora repos
will integrate more smoothly and functional into his system than a
flatpak from a hobby project.
