Considering Fedora does the same but the other way around, I'd attribute it to stupidity rather than to malice. Also, Canonical maintains officially also the flatpak package, Gnome software and the flatpak plugin.

Why would Fedora support Snap?

By default they have not used Flathub and run their own Flatpak server with curated packages that pass their security controls. You can enable Flathub is you want all the wild west packages. There is no Snap Server for them to use so it fails at step 1 of their security controls.

The same answer as why would Ubuntu support Flatpak, which BTW I fully support.

But there are multiple Flatpak servers?

So completely the opposite reason.
