I remember a gamedev complaining about this on Twitter but the outcome he came to was that he hated that Linux users submitted bug reports, stating the OS itself was broken and he refused to help any of them.
It's because Ubuntu is a company-backed distro consistently wants to go their own way. Not just snap but they've done it before with Unity and Mir (and probably others idk).
Course Fedora does literally the same thing and doesn't get any hate for it so idk. It's just a meme.
Personally I don't like Ubuntu because they didnt go far enough into their own ways but thats just me.
They (under Epic Games) fired half their workforce. More specifically pretty much everyone who wrote for Bandcamp Daily. Thats about the only change so far.
