Olivier, I am not sure what is the reasoning here.
That you obviously want to land this in a non-LTS version has nothing to
do with the fact the base product is not ready and that the change was
announced unacceptably late here. The Flutter-based installer is a nice
example. You can obviously develop something for years ánd still land it
in a non-LTS.
Locking out users is not just about "the deb still being available".
Some people will have the snap, others the deb, and others both. If they
have both I have no idea which one is run when they click the FF icon.
The upgrade scenario you mention in comment #7 does not seem to be the
real world case either.
We just got teleported back in time, where the only way for our helpdesk
to know what happens when a user calls the helpdesk, is to open a
terminal and run "apt-get" and "ps aux". This is a support hell,
especially at scale. Because of a non-critical move to another package
format.
And so far no guarantees on the LTS either.

Bug description:
Per Canonical's distribution agreement with Mozilla, we're making the
snap¹ the default installation of firefox on desktop ISOs starting
with Ubuntu 21.10.
The snap is built and published for amd64, armhf and arm64. It is
jointly maintained by Mozilla and the Ubuntu desktop team, and
published by Mozilla.
This requires updating the desktop-minimal seed, as well as ubuntu-
release-upgrader.
