In such a case, there should be an option to hide .desktop items for a particular app from the launcher. There are cases when fixes in .desktop items are the only sane way of fixing stuff, and the camera issue is a great example of this. That camera model is mounted upside-down in some laptop models and upright in others. There is no way to determine the correct orientation from USB id. Kernel module options are also not a solution, as kernel policy discourages any image processing done in the kernel modules. I do not suggest an option to do any user-edits within snaps (I agree having snaps self-contained and not user-editable is a good idea), but rather gnome launcher properly picking up a .desktop override from .local user dir. One can easily do this with command-line snaps by adding shell alias. IMHO local .desktop overrides are completely analogous to that.
