I haven't used Ubuntu for a long time, and I've already seen the news that Ubuntu won't prioritize Flatpak. I think Snap is fully integrated with Ubuntu. Why don't people like it? I recently installed Ubuntu and I wonder what the reason for the dislike is.

They're a lot better these days, but snaps got a reputation early on for being really slow and bloated, and IIRC there isn't a (good) way to host your own repo which puts a lot of control in Canonical's hands.
