Can't you just:

1. mount /mnt/archive <block_storage>

2. dd if=/dev/<your_sda_partition> of=/mnt/archive/<my_image> bs=64K conv=noerror,sync

3. Download your image from your block.

?

Sure. The point is it’s not one click to download like other vendors.

It’s an active and intentional hurdle, it could just link to the file of the snapshot and allow you to DL.
