This expresses some of my own concerns:

And this is a useful explanation:

Some of my colleagues in the Linux business have commented on the
intrusiveness of snaps.

I am considering removing snap support on my own systems. If I can, I
never use them. I enabled it on openSUSE experimentally and I have
Spotify working that way, but the other 2 things I tried (rocket.chat
and the lsd command) didn't work. :-(
