ehhhh.... If I want to reach as many people as possible I would build rpm, deb, docker images, provide source code. I would not use snaps because it would imply more effort from the end user -- they first need to install snapd and only then my app.

Yup. This is what's true in my experience (working for companies that sell software that runs on linux distributions).

I don't have any gross snaps or unpackaged stuff on my laptop, how could I expect paying customers, with an operations department, to accept anything less.

This is a reductive argument.

It's not more effort if Snap is already included in the Linux distribution.

This argument only applies if Snap is your only distribution channel.

Otherwise, you could say that distributing a Linux version of the software implies more effort from the user, because they'd need to install Linux first. We're talking alternatives here.
