Why is the unmaintained GNOME application platform 45 pinned and can’t be removed with flatpak uninstall --unused when no flatpak is using it?
What keeps it in the pinned list?

Try running flatpak list --app --app-runtime org.gnome.Platform//45.
I remember there indeed was some preinstalled app that I didn’t use, so I uninstalled it and Gnome 45 without further issues.

Looks like Logs and Sushi are the culprits.
❯ flatpak list --app --app-runtime org.gnome.Platform | grep '(45|46)'
21: Logs org.gnome.Logs 45.0 stable system
24: Sushi org.gnome.NautilusPreviewer 46.0 stable system
Looks like Logs and Sushi are the culprits.
No, those are versions of Logs and Sushi, respectively.
--app --app-runtime org.gnome.Platform would list all apps that use Gnome runtimes, to select specific runtime you need --app --app-runtime org.gnome.Platform/x86_64/45 or --app --app-runtime org.gnome.Platform//45, as in my previous comment.
Ah, I see.
In that case, nothing is listed.
Yes, as I said in the post, nothing is using it:
If something is using that specific platform version, then during the uninstall, it does warn you about it, similar to below:
However, there is no such warning for version 45:
I don’t understand why it has to be pinned. I don’t want to uninstall it only to find out later that something depends on it in Bluefin.
Propably just a leftover from history. Or has come from upstream.
If nothing is actually using it, then it should be fine to remove.
So I uninstalled it, my home didn’t explode, and the laptop is still in one piece.
All the Flatpak apps also seem to be running fine.
I guess it was just another one of these weird quirks with Flatpak.

Ah, I think openh264 v2.2.0 is what was keeping it. It’s a runtime so it wasn’t showing up in apps, and AFAIU it’s by itself a leftover.
