thats the thing with snaps: they go all over the place on your system, so even if you uninstall it (which itself is a tiring and cumbersome task at times!), they magically stay everywhere on the systems, with tons of folders and files.
install yes, but there are tons of other files and folders that get created, IIRC even pseudo-users or something along those lines? (or that was distro-specific perhaps)
I tried a snap package on my pop-os system once & it poo’ed folders all over my system, then didn’t actually uninstall when I uninstalled it.
No thank you.

I thought contained snaps can only install into /snap directories.

You mean like the program itself is creating files? The issue would be the same whether apt or snap is used, in this case.
never had a problem with other programs leaking out on the system after being properly uninstalled except snap
