Why is the flatpak repo folder so huge?

Does anyone know why the directory at $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/repo contains so many files (69 k) and is so huge (2 Gb) ? What is that ? I hardly ever use flatpaks anyway....
I guess it is not important to include the flatpak directory in one's backup (deja-dup).
PS it looks like there are hard links inside because the flatpak folder has got twice as many files but the same total size.
