I don't know much about the Snap system - regarding 3rd parties and the "tick", is this using domain verification, or some other means? Do 3rd parties have to pay for this?
I read something the other day about needing to pay Canonical $15k/y for a branded Snap store, but I'm not sure if that was about private stores, this, or something else.
Another point is that when installing Snap packages from the command-line, the verification tick only appears after the install has finished, by which point it is already too late.
You can view package info prior to installing, but if we're talking about a typosquatting issue here, that doesn't really help.
