I can understand Canonical pushing for snaps. It's their product and they want it to succeed.
That said I hate their dirty ways. I find it even morally wrong. How can "sudo apt install chromium-browser" not install the apt package but install instead a snap? How I, as a user and also as a professional, trust Ubuntu if when I use their package manager I'm being tricked?
I don't use Windows for a reason, more than one actually. I've been using Ubuntu even with all the "weird" stuff Canonical has been doing over the years but I think this is the nail in the coffin.
Right now I'm using 20.04 but as soon as I finish some work I have left I'll install a fresh new distro.
