I agree with most of your post. However the last line is off.

> If you don't like the bundled model, then you can carry on using Ubuntu 20.04 without Snaps just fine.

This blog post and many of the contents are claiming that you can't just use Ubuntu without snaps anymore as they are being forced upon users.

Those of us that prefer bundles have been "forced" to use centralized repositories our whole lives.
