As discussed a few times this is technically challenging to do.

All of “classic” is visible from /var/lib/snapd/hostfs/ but there is no 
guarantee that you can run them in any way. They may require the classic 
dynamic linker, the classic runtime libraries and the classic filesystem layout 
that are all lost when snap-confine sets up the execution environment. If 
there’s desire to run executables from the outside we could look for solutions 
but this is not as simple as “just use devmode”
