To depersonalize this a bit, I think bluematt is saying that anything which isn't byte-for-byte copy of an official release from https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ shouldn't be labeled as such and shouldn't namesquat on the "Bitcoin" name.

I think it probably would ok for there to be an _unofficial_ snap release that was clearly labeled, and didn't give the impression of being identical to the upstream version of bitcoin.

It might also be possible for someone to work with the Bitcoin project to create an official, deterministically built and verifiable snap build to accompany existing windows, dmg, and deb builds. But this would take probably take a lot more technical work and discussion.
