The universe was formed by the collapse of a massive star. Our massive stars make new universes. The cycle continues forever.
You can sink the ship with jury nullification, sure. But in terms of stopping hundreds of millions of people from seeing this dudes face, no you can't.
That ship sailed a long time ago.
So what? Private corporations are just as cruel.
Corporations are the problem, not their trading status.
As best I can tell, no such thing happened. Feel free to provide some credible sources to back that up though.
Can't put the genie back in the bottle. Would probably be a different story if China released this years ago.

It is carcinogenic if you have more than two sodas in a week, but who would ever want to do that!
The selling point is that it is immutable, not that it uses snaps (which it does). Fedora does the same thing with Silverblue and IoT. You don't install rpms, you install flatpaks. You can install rpms, but you're not really meant to.
Since Canonical refuses to get onboard with flatpak (for now) they use snaps instead of debs, but snaps aren't the direct appeal.
The whole idea is that you have a core system in a known configuration. Updating the system just means using a different image. If an update fails, then you just roll back to the last good configuration. Bazzite uses this to nice effect too.
There are a lot of advantages to end users and enterprise admins with systems in this configuration.
