Those are not fixed locations. You'd have to cope with responding to the
settings (that may differ per process) that govern their location. In
addition the ~/snap directory is very explicitly, and non-trivially
baked into apparmor profiles that are currently global to the system.
This setting can vary per user. Lastly .config and .local and .cache are
just top-level directories with absolutely no structure inside. Where do
you put the per-snap $HOME? Is there a connection between a random dot-
file like .vim or .vimrc that the snap writes to, relative to $HOME to
.local or .config?

All nice solutions have the fatal flaw of being entirely unrealistic in
practice.
