Curious.

As am I:
$ gsettings get org.gnome.software install-bundles-system-wide
true

Okay, so lets work out what's going wrong. What I suspect is happening
is that we're "falling back" to the per-user install because there's
something wrong lower in the stack, e.g. your user could not
authenticate or something to do with polkit. For both issues, if you
can get a full log of:
killall gnome-software
gnome-software --verbose
..then we can figure out what's going on. Thanks.
Attached the log to this bug report. Installing gnome twitch in this
example did not fail as did the libreoffice installation, but it does
user install it instead of system install.

While work out the above, I stumbled into this bug. If I double click
the same *.flatpakref file gnome-software offers an Install button to
install it again, rather than having Launch / Remove buttons.
