Using fwupd from snap doesn't sound like a solution, more of a manual
workaround.

People out there won't notice fwupd silently fails to update their
firmware (currently it says "Not compatible with org.freedesktop.fwupd
version 1.7.9, requires >= 1.9.1"). Which is likely to end up with an
unpatched vulnerability in some firmware during 22.04 lifetime.

Also fwupd from snap is not maintained by Canonical, so it doesn't
follow all the policies (including security) Canonical software follows.
