Are you mixing up Flatpak and Snap? Ubuntu supports snap by default and it’s much more feature rich [1].

I found the ability to install JetBrains products through Snap particularly delightful (they don’t support flatpak).

No I'm not. Ubuntu does use Snap, but distros based on top of Ubuntu (like elementary OS or Linux Mint) come with Flatpak instead.

So I'll always take something based on Ubuntu rather than vanilla Ubuntu.
