For someone who is still struggling with this,
https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/experimental-flag-for-hiding-snap/28509
may prevent snap from storing data in ~/snap folder.

However, it seems that
sudo snap set system experimental.hidden-snap-folder=true
works and puts data in ~/.snap/data, but snap still creates an empty ~/snap on app startups.

Fortunately, we could always leverage crond
* * * * * rmdir ~/snap
to remove the directory when it is empty though. ;-)
