What is AFTL? Probably not "Anterior talofibular ligament" as the internet told me

Canonical could have done a lot better with the explanation message here. The idea is to push apps towards XDG compliance and the use of things like Portals.
That said, unlike Wayland, portals really aren't there yet from a UX perspective, especially for an app that is heavy on file transfers.I prefer what Flathub does where it puts a nice green checker beside your app for XDG compliance - it's an encouragement, but not an enforcement.
This post title is misleading. The developer was working with Snap until Canonical didn't allowed it anymore. He's pissed with the policy enforcement which is strictly speaking commercial and as bad as Apple's afaik...

Having worked with Unix and Linux for 29 years, some of it deep in os security, I strongly believe
- canonical is good at hiding the fact they're evil as hell
- snap is a bag o shite
Cheers to this guy.

And commiting definitely isn't one of the biggest pains in the ass you could wish on yourself.
