From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I experienced the same thing (had previously uninstalled libreoffice, but it came back after the update). I didn't get snapd back fortunately (though I do use Firefox packaged by Pop).
Part of the change is that Pop!_OS is moving away from
ubuntu-minimal
andubuntu-standard
meta packages and towards their own metapackages as shown in this this recent commit.After the update, I simply uninstalled libreoffice... hopefully it doesn't return in the next update :]
