Shoddy implementation they can’t be arsed to fix. They do all kinds of shenanigans like show the size of all locales but only download one, or the other way around, it does not count dependencies and then realizes it has to download something extra etc. It’s all over the place and I’ve given up on it making any sense. I’ve just made sure it’s on a drive with plenty of space and hope for the best.
This is an interesting issue though, there is a lot of information flatpak doesn’t know ahead of time, it trusts the contents of the summary file generated by ostree for max size.

Locales and runtimes are separate.
