That simply means that you can choose which package you use for some of 
those applications. For example, when I enabled Flatpak on Ubuntu, there 
were several instances of Firefox available. One was deb, the other two 
were Flatpak and Snap. I'd go with deb for speed, Snap for security and 
Flatpak as a compromise between both. In the end, I don't really see 
much of a reason for Snap to exist. It does little other than enable 
Canonical to have influence over how applications are distributed. Why 
anyone would need that is beyond me. Unless someone can demonstrate, 
convincingly so, that Canonical is synonymous with stability, and that 
it is the first choice of distribution for workstations, I don't see the 
point.
