• Maybe, if the published app is maintained by an official team. Most useful third party Flatpak/Snap packages seem to be republished by an external team of volunteers because the Flatpak/Snap stores are a subsection of the already tiny Linux ecosystem and companies don’t want to keep up with yet another software distribution format.

    Redirecting an official distribution to something “Snapcrafters” put together because It’s Totally Better, Guys!, is just shitty behaviour. If companies offer both a Ubuntu version and a Debian .deb, i think it’s fine to redirect Ubuntu users to the official Ubuntu distribution for their app, but there’s not a lot of official representation in the Snap store.
