Don't you just remove it if you're using Ubuntu, never install it if you use Debian/Fedora/Arch, and pretend it doesn't exist? I've never run into an app I want that is only packaged for Snap.

Some apps chose to distribute with snaps first, past and present. And without snaps they might've pushed a more unified or better experience with something better.

Canonical has money to do lots of good, too bad they waste it on terrible engineers and terrible projects.

On Ubuntu they hijack apt commands to install the snap instead for some packages, so removing snap is only part of the steps you'd have to do.
