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 the snap folder in your home directory by default starts with a lowercase letter while all the other folders start with uppercase (hidden folders don't count)

all other reasons are secondary

This is such a stupid minor thing, but it's what made me switch from Ubuntu to Fedora, haha.

Downloads and Documents starting with a capital letter is my biggest pet peeve with Ubuntu. It makes it a lot more annoying to navigate through them than if it was all lower case.
