Oof. Never thought to test that. That’s awful 😬
Comment on Ubuntu will manually review Snap Store after crypto wallet scams

Ubuntu Snap Store looked messy years ago. Why let people upload half baked software and experiments, which get no updates, but add to search engine results ? snapcraft.io/search?q=test We’ve found 815 snaps

One of the downsides to hardcoding snap to only be able to use a single repo/store is probably added difficulty in creating testing infra for testing if uploads/CI/CD work.
lol, one of the first one’s I click on: snapcraft.io/test-snapd-public (by Canonical)
Maybe if they didn’t insist on holding a monopoly over the store, they would be able to have an internal version of the store for testing, rather than cluttering the public one.

Yeah but then they can’t pivot to charging for updates.
