The root reason we have to use devmode is filesystem access. By definition, ubuntu-image is a tool that you use to manipulate files provided to it from outside its snap context. This ties in with some future work that I know has been planned for snapd, but I don't think there's anything that can realistically be done to remove devmode for the 0.11 release.
