Snap as a format is not proprietary but Canonical’s Snap Store is. And Canonical’s Snap Store is basically the only one in existence and (semi?) hard-coded into all the tools.
In any case, on a fresh install I usually throw out all the Snap stuff and go for Flatpak, because for some apps, these two formats tend to be the only options anymore.
Removing snap from Ubuntu, at least, seems to be more impossible with every update as far as I’ve heard. Apparently it just reinstalls itself if you try to use apt in order to install eg. Firefox and then uses snap for that package. So I’d guess actually disabling snap would mean somehow configuring or editing apt itself or some addon to it. Any way, such a closed design in combination with the tactics Canonical (at least did) use in order to keep snap as a default looks kinda Microsofty to me.
