It's not that successful if the userbase hates it and would rather use a competitor.

For me it was a successful deterrent. Debian bookworm has been wonderful.

Unity was a nice DE. Being on KDE since 12 years, I still miss some of its features, e.g. merging the menu items with the title bar.

"But the Calamares versions have an install option without Snaps"

Well that also doesnt have a webbrowser and will install snaps the second you want one

So they have somewhere a dpkg hook but still install it if you toggle that option?
