      Canonical make it hard not to use snaps so only those who took extra steps are not using them.

      Sadly that is not true, see snap vs flatpak usage in debian.

      Keep criticizing snap (But do it in a way that is trustworthy and valuable), if somebody wants to use snap due to some advantage that is fine but he should make an informed decision

        I'd wager a guess and say Debian is probably used on servers more than desktops. I'd wager another guess and say that for server applications many are actually fine with snap

        as such, I bring forth the theory that snapd is a popular package on Debian due to it's widespread use on servers, not because tons of people are running bare Debian on their desktops and preferring snaps.

        We need more data to say anything about the desktop.
