Support for Shell Extensions was removed from GNOME Software since 3.36 (because it was problematic and hard to maintain). I just checked it in the latest stable Snap Store app and was not able to find any support for Shell Extensions there.

So, I see three possible solutions for this issue:

1. Add downstream support for Shell Extensions to GNOME Software / Snap Store on Ubuntu. (That would bring too much work and possible issues, at least in my opinion.)
2. Add AppStream metadata file to the chrome-gnome-shell package that would display the package as Add-on for something (Firefox?) in Snap Store.
3. If a package from main cannot depend on a package from universe, move gnome-shell-extension-prefs to universe and add chrome-gnome-shell to its dependencies. (That would be the best solution in my opinion.)
