Are really all these flatpaks unused (except Nvidia latest runtime and a few others)?

Somewhere I found this command for _a flatpak maintenance_:
flatpak uninstall --unused
I did have no free time at that point, so I saved it for later use. Now, when I execute it, I get:
$ flatpak uninstall --unused
These runtimes in installation 'system' are pinned and won't be removed; see flatpak-pin(1):

Proceed with these changes to the system installation? [Y/n]: n
I do not want to cripple my system which is Linux Mint 21.1 Vera Cinnamon.
Could anyone tell me how to determine for sure if these flatpaks are really not used?

When trying to update, it tells me that 3 Flatpaks have likely been moved out of the GNOME
repository
$ flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.
