I hope Snap is not making its way into Debian. Or Snap is optional in
Debian, and not required.
apt policy snap

In the case of namely Chrome, I believe, it is quite probable that it
may be installed as a flatpak or snap package.
Moreover, it is reasonable to use some sandboxing technique for
proprietary applications. I have not tried flatpak. I do not like snap
due to forced updates at arbitrary time, inability to test some old
version, issues with setting up a local mirror (must be registered in
Canonical).
I do not like default security model of snap as well, but I have seen
some knobs in GNOME settings. I do not remember if there were one for
removable storage devices.
