It’s not especially innovative, BTW, it’s just using an uncompressed ostree instead of the compressed archive you find in traditional component systems (and then since people have been working on archiving ostrees to transfer them between systems you will ultimately get right back to the starting point).
The result certainly looks convenient but if it was more than an ostree transposition of how things were already done you would not have an apt2ostree in the middle of the article.
