Snap is a very central component of Ubuntu nowadays and it looks like Canonical is trying to make it the new standard package manager. It's a very long and messy transition. They also keep trying to serve ads on the commandline, e.g. recently they tried to push some kind of subsciption service by saying something like "you could get these updates, too, if you were a subscriber" when you're updating on the commandline.
There's pretty much a neverending string of changes that leave a bad taste.
(disclaimer: Ubuntu is still my main OS. Reinstalling is kind of a PITA ...)
To be fair to Canonical, those messages can be disabled by deleting
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20apt-esm-hook.conf, but that's still kinda unacceptable IMO.They should've just disabled the messages unless you actually attached a pro license
(disclaimer: I mainly use kubuntu as my debian-based distro of choice, because gnome/gdm3 makes my eyes bleed)
