Snaps pissed me off too, and I vowed to switch to another distro (probably Debian) when this installation stopped working. In particular, it annoys the hell out of me when they pull a bait-and-switch by automatically converting `apt install X` commands to `snap install X` for certain popular packages.

...but this Kubuntu system (my primary workstation) has been rock steady for the past ~5 years with no signs of problems. So as annoyed as I am, I gotta hand it to them for keeping things working smoothly.
