I haven't used Ubuntu for a long time, and I've already seen the news that Ubuntu won't prioritize Flatpak. I think Snap is fully integrated with Ubuntu. Why don't people like it? I recently installed Ubuntu and I wonder what the reason for the dislike is.

I think, the Linux ecosystem has changed a lot. There is far more support for it, than it used to have. With more software coming to your computer, it's harder to find out, which programms are trustworthy. I think it's a good idea to put programms into a secure box and only allow access to the system in a controlled way. That is what snap makes possible.

Canonical needed that feature for their business clients and private users benefit from that.
