Now that certain utilities are being shipped as snaps by default this might be more important. E.g. default install of 18.04 includes gnome-system-monitor as a snap but if you want the vanilla gnome desktop you end up with the deb version as well. If you're using snaps it makes more sense to use the snap version as it can see the snap processes (doesn't look like the deb one can) so would be nicer to be able to remove the deb version rather than the snap if the duplicated menu entries got annoying.
