Why is snaps hated

I see people hate snap packaging and removing it if their OS support it. Is it because it's NOT fully open-source or just due to how the technology works?

Because I can't dismiss the Firefox update notification, no matter how many times I update it.

I've had to reboot every time.

Which, way to go you've reimplemented windows xp era updates.

Stop the app and run "snap refresh" and it should update anything that's queued

yes, I did kill the process and update the image though snap.

this did nothing to remove the update notification that cannot be dismissed without rebooting.

Oh, weird. The notification itself disappeared for me when I click it (KDE)

maybe they fixed it, I switched to Debian over a year ago.
