Has anyone considered packaging Gambas for Ubuntu as a Snap of Flatpack package?

A quick snap search gambas returned no results.

The main advantages for the end user is the ease of installation,
automated updating and it is claimed on the snap website to be more
stable and secure.  The claim is also made that snap packages are
universal Linux packages, though I have no experience of this.

In my experience it is simply a much easier way of staying up to date
with a development tool, I use the snap package for Hugo instead of a
custom repo and I can no longer have issues regarding updating.
