Why are you reposting this? And to the same instance?
And, again, why didn't you bother to follow the thread of that comment? Quoting shit out of context is disingenuous.

Sure. Other people can do that if they want.
I don't have a problem with companies bundling whatever packages they want on their distro.
The difference comes when they actively block installation (just like Mint does). That is what is anti-consumer. It adds confusion to users as they have to go and find out what random file in /etc/ needs to be edited or removed, just to install some software. It's stupid.
You may disagree, that's fine. It's okay to not like things.
Btw i dislike Ubuntu in general and snaps in particular.
