I understand this can be confusing, but I'm not sure snapd should be in
the business of warning about missing desktop components or dbus
services of the given interface.

Snapd's desktop interface, as other snapd interfaces, grants access to
dozens of resources/subsystems, some of which may not be relevant for
some snaps, snapd doesn't have a way of knowing that. I think a solution
to this would be a warning/popup implemented by desktop launcher script
of thunderbird snap, it knows what's required for proper functioning of
the snap (and can use snapctl is-connected for preliminary check,
combined with runtime checks of actual services it needs).
