Ask HN: Why is the Ubuntu Software Center so buggy?

From my experience with the Software Center on Ubuntu, I have encountered many issues which I will outline here. Why is the Snap software center so buggy? I'm on version 18 of Ubuntu because version 20 of Ubuntu is incompatible with my laptop and crashes randomly, but the version 18 store should be smooth and non-buggy despite its legacy status. What's going on? - Most software is stuck on an older version and lags behind the latest release. - Sometimes software hangs when installing. Gets stuck on 95% and stays that way, with no way to get it fully installed. - Some of the comments on software are un-moderated and you read people trying to push a political agenda saying things like 'This software is Marxist because it's free' - The Software Center is buggy as hell and constant error messages popup when trying to install software. (Yes I've done the update/upgrade ritual before installing anything). - Most software is lacking screenshots. I like to see what the UI looks like before I install. - I often encounter the software I want flashing for three seconds on the screen, and then disappearing for no reason. The search functionality is broken. - I sometimes see duplicate software packages, with one less popular version that has 1 star, and another with 4/5 stars (guess which one I download and install?)
