I don't want snap, ever. It is really annoying to have to disable it on Ubuntu. I don't think it would be as bad if they didn't hijack apt to install what they think should be a snap.

I agree, 100%. For any readers who want to know how to disable snap after uninstalling it: 1. Create a file /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref 2. It's contents should be: Package: snapd Pin: release a=* Pin-Priority: -10

Snaps are also built into Ubuntu in such a way that if you don't reenable it and try to upgrade releases you can seriously mess up your installation. Yet, while they take great pains to disable 3rd party repos and PPAs they won't even warn you that you have snapd blocked
