Oh ok I didn't realize that. I've personally never encountered a situation where I needed a Snap because a Flatpak lacked functionality.
Snaps are more comparable to nix, really. They can provide system services and even your kernel. Flatpaks and AppImages are only really about distributing desktop apps, but the rest of the system still needs to be provided another way.
