let me reverse the question, what's the issue with using "/usr" which is
standard in our current world?

sure having a different prefix can be made to work, it's just going to
create more work and issues, at least if we leverage our current ubuntu
archive to make easier to bundle libraries and depends.

one example is the gsettings schemas, if you bundle libgtk-3-0 its
schemas are going to be in $snap/usr/share, if the software you build
also have a schemas with the current default it's going to go in
$snap/share and things don't work out of the box
