this is a matter of the snap packager ... snap itself hands over all
commandline options when you execute /snap/bin/<command>. 

that said ... snaps often use wrappers to adapt to the environment but
if the packager did not hand over "$@" to the actual exec call of the
command in such a wrapper then cmdline options will be ignored.
