This is one that I’d love to see confined, probably with the snap and apt access in separate interfaces. But it will take a good amount of work on our end before we can do that, and having up-to-date revisions of gnome-software means people have a first class graphic user interface for snapd itself. Also, even if that is somewhat of a management platform, which we’ve been trying to avoid for now, this is a graphic interface that is manually driven by the user instead of being “backdoor-like” in nature. It’s also the most well known and most used software of its kind, I believe.
For all of those reasons, +1 for the request.
