Im no longer actively involved in upstream snaps development but I came to comment that the claim that it should be straightforward to convert snaps to to scripts that perform simple steps such as snap install, and so on, is entirely detached from reality of how snapd operates.

It is anything but straightforward and in the current design of snaps, is mostly impossible. The only thing you can do is to create a seed and that is indeed supported, but snaps will be installed form that seed on system startup.

The basics of seeding are described on the snapcraft forum: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/seeding-a-classic-ubuntu-image/19756
