Disclaimer, I like the snap packaging format, and I'm not familiar with the history of launchpad.

Operationally:

- I can trivially host and control my own apt repository, either as a mirror of some upstream repository, or with bespoke packages.

- I can't do the same with snaps.

So launchpad and snap store isn't quite apples-to-apples. It would help of course if a snap store could be statically hosted or re-implemented, but the full API is quite complex.
