People won't buy a phone without Snapchat or Instagram who can't actually implement said support without violating the Huawei ban.

Many people won't. Many other people couldn't care less about Snapchat or Instagram. That latter set of people almost certainly still constitute a large enough market to be worth addressing.
Lots of corporate structure alternatives could offer a way around that. Perhaps a French company would support that, after making a deal for a certain portion of those apps' European revenue?
