You can do reminders in gmail too, just click on the clock icon. You can also schedule send your email now which is pretty cool https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-uniblog-publish-prod/ori...

I think you're conflating snoozing with reminders. Snoozing allows you to hide emails until a later moment in time, whereas reminders allows you to add arbitrary items to your inbox (e.g. "Visit dentist") which you can then also snooze until the appropriate moment. The experience might be replicated by sending an email to yourself and snoozing that, but that involves far more friction.
