While I am not absolutely sure at this point, I do believe I used the some of the 'default' images provides by LXD/linuxcontainers.org.
Starting container with 'lxc launch images:ubuntu/22.04/cloud test' results in a minimal setup with neither snap nor lxd.
I assume the official counterpart of which you speak should be available via 'lxc launch ubuntu:22.04 test'.
