I like the idea of Snap, but Flatpak seems to be a much better implementation.

Absolutely. The server-side implementation of Snap is closed source and the Snap Store is a single instance controlled solely by Canonical. Flatpak repositories are decentralized and can be hosted on private servers with flat-manager, which is FOSS:

Right - it's a control/monetization strategy.
