No. They are not the same.

This is the core of my objection: your posts sound very confident and
you believe that you know what you are talking about, but they contain
errors that you seem unaware of.

This part:

«
when snaps are fully functional on a modern desktop

You may not be aware but Ogra, who has commented to you, is one of the
people who built and maintains Snap.

You are being arrogantly wrong about the tool _to its creator._ That's
beyond rude. It's awful behaviour.

Snap works fine. You may have encountered an issue but you are
arrogantly and wrongly blaming the entire snap tooling for one edge
case you've found in one app.

This makes you look very mean-spirited -- and very foolish, and you
seem not to realise it. For that reason I am being more delicate and
circumspect than I usually am. You will probably get angry anyway.
