They worked fine, and I don't feel like having multiple types of containers and update methods and mounted image file systems really made anyone's life better.

#9Mir, Unity, now Snap. Ubuntu has a track record of wanting to go it alone.
But, I'm all for competition, long may it continue. The only real negative here is that some apps will only release Snaps, others will only release Flatpaks and people will end up having to just revert to copr/AUR like before.
Choosing a distro is basically choosing a DE and package manager these days anyway - a single unified packaging format that works everywhere is more frustrating than an alternative DE or windowing system.

I would've appreciated some background how this differs from the next Linux distro, and what's the relation to Ubuntu removing Flatpak?
