The containerization of snaps allows for easier control of different types of permissions. Of course the flip side of that is that snap packages often lose features because either the permissions aren't properly setup or the security model doesn't allow them. For example, the XSane (scanner) plug-in for GIMP was discontinued because GIMP moved to a containerized distribution, and the XSane developers aren't able to enable the permissions required to use scanners.
