> Too often snap critics conflate the installation of the third party software use case with the distribution itself.

I don't think it's accurate to say that it's the desire to install rolling-released third party software in itself that's the problem. It's the mismatch between the distribution's and the third party software's release cycles that make this a problem, and using a distribution that more closely resembles the software's release cycle does solve this problem without needing Snap.
