I’d wager a guess and say Debian is probably used on servers more than desktops. I’d wager another guess and say that for server applications many are actually fine with snap

Canonical make it hard not to use snaps so only those who took extra steps are not using them.

Linux Mint is amazing if you want Ubuntu with less bad choices.
Pop!_OS is another great alternative!
