Is there any reason to have snapd installed on your system? I am currently setting up a new laptop and so far my plan is to not install it. Anybody here who uses it? Care to tell why?
If you remove Snaps from Ubuntu, how do you install apps that are not in their regular repo, for example, Firefox? Do you sideload them?
Does Ubuntu remove it?

They own it, sure, but they license it out freely. They've released their work under a license that allows anyone use of their trademark, as long as they stick by the AGPLv3. The AGPLv3 is written permission.

I think what Signal is objecting to is that the snap looked like it was packaged and distributed by Signal when the files included could have been modified with a backdoor or whatever.

If you can't save the output of curl into a file, you certainly aren't one of the few people capable of meaningfully inspecting anything you download.
I cam do that on MY machine. I cannot do that on your. I can download code, inspect it, install, and then create a RPM package, which can be installed in a safe way by DNF package manager, but I cannot do that with `curl | bash` method of installation.
But you can?
