Why all the hate for Ubuntu and snap etc
Why should I be required to disprove your conspiracy theory? Here's one; took me three seconds of googling. https://github.com/gjsman/snapstore.

Canonical should ditch Snap, embrace Flatpak and improve APT
However, it looks like someone else is trying to do it with a current snapd, although you still can’t install from it.

Red Hat donates $10,000 to OBS Studio, Flatpak to be official for Linux
Your use of "optional" should be taken with a huge grain of salt, and THAT is what I'm getting at. This is why there are small third-party devs who have to pick-up the slack for Canonical with projects like these. That's just silly in my opinion.

The state of (real) Linux on phones - will they ever be truly usable?
Ubuntu Touch, for example, does not support Full Disk Encryption, when Android has moved on from Full Disk Encryption to File-Based Encryption. Android utilises SELinux in enforcing mode for Mandatory Access Control even for root/superuser processes. Sandboxing with Flatpak cannot compare to the OS-level app sandboxing done on Android and iOS. Permission management on Flatpak is good, but still not as advanced as Android or iOS. On phones, (real) Linux is quite easily outclassed in security when compared to Android.

De-Googled Android Phone Recommendations?
It still uses many of the Android components via Halium on traditional Android devices which end up unpatched and for devices not with a mainline kernel use outdated vendor kernels. https://github.com/ubports/ubuntu-touch/issues/1566

Canonical should ditch Snap, embrace Flatpak and improve APT
Fyi, the project isn't dead, it is just not developed by Canonical anymore: https://ubports.com/

Operating System development for smart phones?
There is already Ubport https://ubports.com/ project that is supporting Ubuntu for smartphones and guides you to compile debian with all the phone functionalities. Some parts of modem abstraction layer on the Linux (below radio Interface layer) will still be not openesource and i would say it won't be easy to get this source.
