Only Firefox is shipped as snap on default install.
But Firefox packaged by Ubuntu was always gimped as they didn't enable certain optimizations like PGO/LTO so official tar.gz from Mozilla was superior anyway. (They fixed this recently for snap). I think it's similar for Chromium.
So I didn't use snaps and I never been in situation that I needed to use snap.
Firefox isn't the only thing that has been switched off .deb and to a snap. LXD, for example, has been shipping as a only a snap for years.
But even if it were only firefox, telling people they should download tarballs instead of having their distro ship packages is really missing the point.
