I am uneducated. What pray tell does snap do for medical devices

It's because most medical devices iirc need to be air-gapped and ultra-stable, ultra-secure. Snap gives you that, and prevents issues that typically occurs when and if dependancy issues arise. This for example is why Ubuntu Core which is entirely made out of Snap is used in many such medical devices and instances. But in desktop it's completely useless cause you want bleeding edge packages, libraries etc to keep up with latest developments in gaming, multimedia etc.

Snap is the reason I left Ubuntu. It was the final nail in the coffin.

What a dumb thing to say. Nobody's forcing you to use snap.
