No, that's also incorrect if you slice it by popularity. We don't have a public chart easily filtered by these aspects together, but just pick some random samples.

It's also easy to see that based on the low volume of classic snap requests in the forum, vs. the volume of actual snaps published and announced in the open.

My understanding is that we still can't fully confine stuff using Electron (VSCode, Atom, Skype, etc.). Did that change recently?
Not true. The snaps you list are not classic by virtue of being electron. There's plenty of electron apps in the snap store which are not classic, but strictly confined. It's the default for electron apps built with electron-builder.
I don't think that was ever true?

I thought the seccomp-in-seccomp thing would have messed things up...
