Not really. Apt installs snaps in some cases not because they’re tricking people, but because said package is either abandoned by Canonical team like firefox (Mozilla creates snaps for it, so neither Canonical nor Mozilla have to build debs for all the Ubuntu flavors and supported versions anymore), or created so people can help Canonical to test technology like it was with gnome-calculator several years ago.
