The point here is that not every snap uses the home interface (by choice
of the developer (because she considers it more secure), because they
were initially developed for UbuntuCore (where home does not auto-
connect) or because they ship server-only apps (but perhaps still want
to provide data to the user)).

The data of such snap packages is *only* accessible via
~/snap/<packagename>, if you simply hide the dir (which would likely be
a trivial code change), you make data of such apps inaccessible (or at
least very hard to find).

It needs a bigger conceptual re-design to not break such snaps, not all
snaps are desktop apps and not all snaps blindly use a plethora of snap
interfaces, to fix this bug they need to be taken into account as
well...
