...
The reason there is a package manager, is to keep the amount of data to be loaded into memory low by sharing libraries and whatever can be shared.
Snap is just another layer on top of it, like AppImage, which is not necessary.
If I really have no choice but to use one of these, I use an AppImage. Does not require the entire SNAPD crap taking over my system.Linuxer since the early beginnings...

In my opinion Ubuntu is no longer the reference distribution (most used) in the desktop environment, as is not even RHE
We must then distinguish server from desktop...
However today things are changing, the classic LTS like Debian, but also Ubuntu or RH remain "insecure", although engineers do everything to make an excellent backport for security, it is not always possible to do it and not always doing it is painless due to some bug problems that are generated by the backports. Sooner or later they will find a solution...but for desktop users, a rolling or semi-rolling desktop is much safer provided there is a rollback system.
On the issue of the Intel-Canonical collaboration, I imagine there is no surprise, among other things they collaborate for a ppa that according to them has only a test functionality.

If you want to see what open source software will be in Ubuntu/Debian in 10 years time, download Rocky/Alma.
