Then snaps could be the solution for proprietary software, not for regular software.

Statistically, proprietary software is regular software.

But yeah, snaps is a great solution for that, espacially because getting a non FOSS software is not possible in official distro repos, and hosting your own repo is HARD.

And that's what's happening. I installed Telegram using a snap because of this.

Statistically, proprietary software in the world of Linux is a black swan. Free software is the rule, proprietary software the exception to the rule which tends to be used only when there are no alternatives.
