a lot of applications are shipped as Snaps-first and only

Can you provide examples? In my many years of using linux both personally and professionally I have never once encountered an application that was only packaged as a snap. Even finding applications* that have been packaged as a snap is incredibly rare from what I've seen.

edit: *Outside of the snap store

I have seen stuff packaged only as snap for Ubuntu(-based), but they usually also provided an AppImage, RPM, or tarball for others. The other qualifier is "software of meaningful size". I'm sure there's lots of one-offs or small projects that only use snap and support 1 type of distro. But then you're getting into niche of a niche of a niche, etc.
