Fair point

If that were me, and I was that troubled by it, then I'd set a snap refresh to run on startup or delayed startup, and then hand the machine back to the user and forget about it

Don't know if I am missing the point, but why not at your convenience
just do a:

sudo snap refresh     to update any installed snap packages

sudo snap refresh /package-name/ to update a specific snap package

Mainly because it isn't that convenient to run that all the time.  You are
absolutely right, I could do sudo snap refresh each time I booted up, but my
wife would feel somewhat less comfortable with doing that instead of simply
clicking on the alert when Discover Update prompts her.

Also, I do think you *are* missing the point a bit.  Many users aren't
developers or system administrators, so how do they know they have to do this?

I only found out by accident.
