anti-snap stance is anti-consumer

The title is a quote from Mastodon. I’ve always seen dislike towards snap so I was taken back when I saw this stance. The person who wrote this was referring to Tuxedo Laptops.

What are your thoughts on this?

EDIT 2:

Some clarification for those accusing me of not following the thread or being disingenuous.

Didn't bother to follow the thread?

I posted my question here before this particular response from the OP. I asked the question on Lemmy out of interest and wanting to get a wider perspective. I also engaged with the OP on the thread so that I can get their perspective on their stance.

That's an interesting comment from a guy that used to work for Canonical, and then went anti-snap pretty hard, to the point that he made this:

No see he loves snaps so much he made a utility to unistall it To reinstall it again!

Yeah no snaps are a bad format they are not FOSS in my book.
