My snap folder only has chromium in it. Like probably most users who don't (and shouldn't) care about snaps.
The snap drama is a ideological purity contest by people who should know better (aka use something else than Ubuntu if that pisses them off that much).

Snap drama is just writing comments about it without action.
It's not like OSS community would have rushed to provide alternative packages for Flatpak, AppImage, deb etc.
Snap automatic updates are still the fastest way to update servers with latest security etc updates, keeping servers secure. That's the reason usage of Snap packages is increasing.
With Docker, recent drama was Docker Hub rate limits, so I had to move Docker base images from Docker Hub to Quay.io, so that Docker images could be built successfully.
