snaps are tied to the proprietary Ubuntu store and they are not available on all of the Linux flavors. For instance, I don't see snapd on Alpine Linux:

  $apk search snapd
  $

Not cool, I think.

An alpine Linux core dev appears to maintain the alpine package for Certbot. I don’t see it being deprecated anytime soon.

The snap is very different and relies on systemd which isn’t commonly found in Alpine.
