Also run into this issue. I used to exclude cache data from backups by
simply excluding $HOME/.cache . Since the introduction of Snap apps, I
have the troublesome task to exclude every .cache folder per snap app
separately in the backup script. Especially with apps like Spotify it is
necessary for it will otherwise include many GBs of cache data in my
backups I really don't want.

It would be great if indeed Snap would comply to at least one base
XDG_CACHE_HOME for all apps somehow, for instance by putting
subdirectories for cache data per app,like  ~/.cache/snap/chromium
~/.cache/snap/spotify etc.
