IMO this is mostly due to higher-ups at Canonical no longer giving a fuck about desktop, less so for the boots on the ground. Wimpress and Pope both left Ubuntu and I don't remember which one said it but one of the 2 had a tweet basically saying as much. But even without that, snaps have been around since at least Dec 11, 2014 and likely even earlier than that. But despite being around for over 8 years, there's still a bunch of common complaints and probably about 30-40% don't sound like they'd take a big company more than 6-12 months to address if they actually worked on it. Things like submitting a patch to the util-linux project to make cli tools like mount/blkid/lsblk/fdisk to make loop devices not be displayed by default (after all they effectively only "break" when snap is installed), following normal dot-prefix conventions in the $HOME folder, adding 1st party support for 3rd party repos (given the nature of FOSS, couldn't they even borrow the logic from flatpak?), adding optimizations to consume less disk space in the majority of scenarios. (I would say to also make snapcraft.io open-source, but after seeing this repo, it appears that common complaint may be off-base)
