Please do not be rude. Ranting into a bug report form doesn't actually help anything. I am sorry that developers who are trying to help are being treated in this way.
Rudeness aside though I think there is a valid point in this particular bug report. I am not even close to an expert in snap, but it does seem that having a snap that runs continuously in the background (even when the UI is closed) makes for a bad UX when combined with snap's default update / notification policy.
The original poster wrote a much more thorough post than I could, so I won't reiterate that, other than to say that a startup-based solution might not work for my use case. I use Ubuntu on desktop, and routinely have the system (and by extension snap-store) running for days or weeks at a time. I am not super inconvinienced by having to manually kill a snap-store process, I am comfortable in a terminal environment. I am more concerned because of exposing that kind of experience to people who might not be comfortable with that.
Anyway, don't know if this will help the effort or not, but just throwing in my +1 and input.
