From my perspective those things are also pretty political. E.g. Ubuntu ditched Flatpak in favor of their Snap solution. Snap has, compared to Flatpak only Ubuntu's proprietary store, where Ubuntu has full control over it. So it's also a fight about influence.
And it's breaking with traditional standards which people got used to and, as it's quite new, smaller things need still to be ironed out.

As far as my understanding goes, regarding Ubuntu, is that they are going to ditch Snap completely with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Naughty Nightingale.
Canonical has decided to abandon the Snap project and remove it completely in the upcoming release of 24.04 code-named, Naughty Nightingale.
