Snaps require you to allow each publisher to automatically push arbitrary software updates to your machine, and snap deliberately does not allow you to disable this misfeature. It's not a bug or an oversight -- it's part of the design of snap, and it's not going to change.

Handing out the keys to the kingdom like this is supremely annoying on a desktop (e.g. Windows 10), but it's completely unacceptable on a server.

This is a terrible move, and they should absolutely walk it back.
