>However, with Snap, everybody in the world can publish any old rubbish in the Snap Store, including packages that typosquat the names of others.

This is why I don't bother installing snaps unless the developer themselves are actually providing(or at least promoting) the snap. There's been a couple of occasions where I went to install the snap and it turned out to either be an old or broken version of the software.

I don't have too many technical quibbles with snaps, it's just the way Ubuntu has the ecosystem setup now.
