    I think they would care if they knew the benefits of not having snaps.

    There’s little to no advantage in having them, so why have them?

          It’s confusing if there are more than one version of an app and the fact that the command to install one installs the other doesn’t make it better

            There’s already more than one version without snap, it’s already a confusing mess. Not all distros are compatible with the exact same binaries. And people probably don’t want to compile everything form source.

            Snap could potentially unify things, and remove all of that confusion.

          Flatpaks are just as easy to use without the drawbacks of snaps. There’s no reason to use snaps excet for Canonical pushing them on end users.

          And frankly snaps frequently don’t work well, that’s the entire reason people hate them.
