The actual software of which the configuration belongs to is chromium (or "notes"), not snap, snap is "just there" in the middle.

Say I want to wipe snap's configuration, I should be able to wipe `$XDG_DATA_HOME/snap` without losing my n+1 snap application's data. Very simply put, `$XDG_DATA_HOME/snap` is for snap, `$XDG_DATA_HOME/chromium` is for chromium. It would be equally silly to have i386 software use ``$XDG_DATA_HOME/i386/software`.

Thirdly, it creates a discrepancy in configuration folder location between distributions, which is pointlessly annoying and hinders distro-hopping.
