There is a VLC available through flatpack, but I've not used it (so
therefore cannot comment), but have seen warnings that it will pull in
up to 1.2 GiB of other packages including the complete KDE implementation.

$ flatpak info org.videolan.VLC | grep 'Installed'
  Installed: 77,7 MB

$ flatpak info org.kde.Platform//5.13 | grep Installed
  Installed: 910,3 MB

The KDE runtime may be used by other Qt applications installed in your system.

In a nutshell: Flatpak is a bundling system and as such it requires more disk space, but the benefits (of shipping a self-contained and independent application) may offset the cost for some people, especially today (as large disks are smaller and cheaper). The article explains how ostree helps in reducing the duplication between similar runtimes.
