They may require the classic dynamic linker, the classic runtime libraries and the classic filesystem layout that are all lost when snap-confine sets up the execution environment. If there’s desire to run executables from the outside we could look for solutions but this is not as simple as “just use devmode”

Yes, see my other thread where I have a script that needs to add a
PPA, even running in devmode and chrooting back to
/var/lib/snapd/hostfs, everything is still broken. Would be great if
snap offered some alternative for shell scripts that need to just run
unrestricted on the host system.
