So, there cannot be a third-party/self-hosted snap store ? That seems like a major limitation.

There are self-hosted proxies, and there are publicly hosted stores, but all stores are part of the exact same hierarchy and share some of their knowledge. That's mainly a consequence of implementing the intended user experience as originally designed back then.
