Thanks a lot, I'm relieved to see this not being required anymore. It was really a bad surprise to encounter this with a beginner at an install party. (we renounced to install the software we wanted, even though it was possible with the command line)
Has it been decided whether this will be backported or only available from the newer releases?

It seems strange since if I use a terminal and do: $ sudo snap remove john-the-ripper Everything works as expected. BTW: Ubuntu Software takes ages to find out the size of the snap package.
