How would they trap everyone in the ecosystem?
This isn't Apple, there's a gajillon other ways of getting software you can use on every single linux distro.

    That's exactly what they're trying to change.

    Then I guess it's a good thing they don't control all other Linux distros.

    Then I guess it’s a good thing they don’t control all other Linux distros.

    But they would to a degree if the Snap Store would actually succeed becoming the Linux app store (like Steam is for games but that's more because all other vendors don't care to make a Linux client).

    Open source software would still be available packaged by the distros and as Flatpak, even if the software's author offered it exclusively as Snap.
