This.

If Mozilla was so keen on snaps of their own accord why wouldn’t they be pushing other distros to also pack it up as a snap and/or Flatpak.

Because other distros have different ideological reasons for packaging Firefox their way than Canonical. Fedora, for example, applies patches to Firefox before distributing their rpm.
