But why is it an issue that Canonical controls a source of software for their own OS? Isn’t that the same with every distro’s repository?

No. You can add any other repository to apt, rpm, Flatpak, etc. You cannot do the same with Snap and that’s by design. Canonical wants to be the sole gatekeeper of Linux software, hoping that all developers have no alternative but to publish software on the Snap store (ideally only there) which works best on Ubuntu.

Therefore: Fuck Snap.
