Snaps are a closed-source proprietary packaging format that Canonical controls. And they have also altered apt on Ubuntu to download snaps first before native packages. You may be using snaps right now without realizing it, which is also part of the issue.

Snaps themselves are a GPLd format

The Snap Store server is completely proprietary and fully controlled by Canonical.
