Ubuntu’s Director of Engineering says the new hub will be a “snap-first app store” designed around snap metadata. If the same piece of software exists in the Ubuntu repository and the snap store the new store will only make it possible to install the snap version.

Their plan is to put out more snaps and drown out debs, which is a terrible plan.
Even your link says they’re NOT replacing the apt command with snaps. And yet above you said they were.
The snaps-only thing is in the store.
So I say again: they’re NOT turning apt into a snap-only thing. Please read news carefully before spreading fake news.
Try installing Firefox via APT and watch it install a snap package.
Still doesn’t mean every apt package is becoming a snap. Firefox is more of an “exception that proves the rule”.
And since you’re so desperately grasping at straws here, I won’t keep feeding this conversation.
