It’s actually vwry convenient for developers on ghe server and enterprise side of things, and that’s why they push it so much. The problem is it sucks for users, and it sucks for server admins, last I heard. Even though the slow startup times are not an issue on the servers.
The main use for snaps comes from having controlled updates for packages that can’t be isolated, like the kermel, but surely it would be better to keep such packages as native debs. Personally, I can’t see an advantage for it. In theory, it’s a universal package format, but who cares that it works everywhere when nobody uses it because of the issues it has. And I definitely agree that Docker is better for enterprise server stuff.
seriously it is so stupid

Flatpak or just docker would be better. Snap is redundant.
