I think the issue here is that the apt versions are not always maintained after an app moves to snap releases.

> And in a handful of situations, like large apps with extensive dependencies, or externally managed builds, or needs for cross-distro binary compatibility, Snap has real and tangible advantages.

I see that snaps can offer these advantages, but so can AppImage and FlatPak, and these are even more cross-platform and don't come with the same limited ecosystem.
