The crucial difference between both is thus the use case. Most file systems are used for live infrastructure (FAT32, NTFS, ext4). Some file systems are used for seekable, immutable and compressed storage (squashfs, cromfs).

I don't know a lot about snaps innards. It always looked like snaps were just bad containers
Do you think snaps could have been implemented using OCI container images instead of squashfs?
