Why does almost all commercial software that chooses to support Linux use Snap instead of flatpak?

Ubuntu Flavors Decide to Drop Flatpak

Cons of Using snap
The current Snap Store is not open source. The one you referenced is dead as proven by the repo you're article refers to: https://github.com/noise/snapstore/

Probono, creator of AppImage, in an attempt to get AppImage support, is banned from the OBS Studio organization on GitHub after downright rude comments and accuses them of supporting Flatpak because of the bounty offered by RH. "In any event, please do not bother our project anymore"
If you're referring to the old HOWTO article for hosting your own snap store server, the software it used to do that stopped working several years ago.

Can some one explain to me in basic terms why snaps are so disliked?
That's nice and all, but besides the complete lack of official serversoftware that can be hosted by anyone, I'm going to guess that forcing another URL would mean that it uses that repo INSTEAD OF the official one. With regular package managers and Flatpaks, that's not the case. You can add repo's in ADDITION to the originals with those. The only mention of a self-hostable snap server that I can find, is this one. However, it is an unofficial server and has been depreciated. In other words: it's not compatible/functional with the latest version of Snapd (the clientside) anymore and will remain like that.
- Are flatpaks the future? I tend to agree.

They used to have an example implementation here, though: https://ubuntu.com/blog/howto-host-your-own-snap-store https://github.com/noise/snapstore

Is releasing via Snap that bad?
interesting read. unfortunately, the 'snapstore' github project (here) that it links to now says:

After 1.5 years of using Ubuntu I decided to migrate to Fedora today... so yeah, hello world!
Your link is an blogpost from 2016 that points to: https://github.com/noise/snapstore README: snapstore was a minimalist example of a "store" for snaps, but is not compatible with the current snapd implementation. As a result I have removed the contents here to avoid further confusion.

Ubuntu 21.04 Released
In fact, Bret Barker has published an open source (Apache License) SNAP store on GitHub. We’re already looking at how to flesh out his proof-of-concept and bring it into snapcore itself.

GLFW has merged proper support for client-side window decorations on Wayland!
If you find the list "odd" feel free to change it on Wikipedia. Also Mir is literally a Wayland compositor as stated by the git repo. To my limited understanding (I never done anything with it, I only saw it on the Wikipedia list) it's quite similar to wlroots.

Interesting opinions on the shortcomings of Wayland
i see mir development still active on github tho https://github.com/MirServer/mir

How X Window Managers Work, and How to Write One
People have already mentioned wlroots as a starting point, but there is a less opinionated and more compatible (NVIDIA-ready) library that I’m really quite fond of called Mir: https://github.com/MirServer/mir
One thing to note, Wayland, unlike X, does not support server side decorations yet, so compositor’s responsibilities are mostly just placing windows.

Linux development sucks
