This goes for both Gitlab Snippets and Github gists, but I never really wanted it to be backed by git. In the beginning I saw it as just a convenient pastebin service associated with the git service, for single files and quick sharing. It seems overkill to create a repo. When people make gists that are like 2-3 files they should just make a repo.
