I won't use snaps because each installed package has to be mounted as a block device to run. There are as many as 2-3 mounted loop devices for each snap package cluttering up my lsblk and fdisk outputs. How many block devices would you have mounted if the whole system was snaps?"

I agree, I voted "I will continue to avoid snaps". AS you can see 69% voted that, compared to 12% that already use snaps. About 6 to 1 ratio. Make of that what you will.
