Unless you want Firefox or some other apps where the deb package is a thin frontend around a snap install command.

Fair criticism, but wouldn't you be installing the Flatpak versions of those apps anyway? I get the loss of the distro-provided builds but in abstract I can't find some fundamental reason distros can't drop packages from their repos.
I'd rather a package report as `does-not-exist` and suggest I install it from snap over it installing it silently from snap without my input
