That is exactly right Jamie. Snapd has no mechanis to detect or track dynamically attached devices like USB-serial port adapters built into Arduino boards. The serial port is a proper interface but with the current limitations in snapd you cannot create dynamic instances of that interface (slots) in response to dynamically changing hardware.
I can offer an alternatives, an new interface e.g. "all-serial-ports" could just expose all serial ports on the system. Over time, as we teach snapd about device changes, we could do other things but then it would be somewhat better to integrate that into the arduino IDE (so that it is aware about connections to dynamically allocated devices) just so that the user interface and user experience is better suited to what is happening.
