https://snapcraft.io/about - to know more about snap

Beyond that - snaps (i am just guessing looking at your mountpoint and
details) look like just simple files mounted at a mount point. Since
these are probably ro files, you cannot write to them, and so it makes
sense available space of the snap is zero. The snap itself  seems to
be inside /snap.
