Exactly. Canonical's Snap Store service is closed source and the Snap client is designed to only interface with Canonical's proprietary service. It's not "disinformation" to point out that Snap is a locked-down product controlled by Canonical, while most other packaging solutions for Linux are fully free and open source on both the client and server side. Canonical's one-sided approach to interacting with the Linux community will only encourage Linux users to reject Ubuntu and adopt distros with more sensible defaults.
