Can you elaborate a little? I imagined this meant something like Visual Studio Code’ Marketplace (which doesn’t allow non Microsoft products to connect), but I don’t see anything about that on Snap’s TOS.
To be clear, I’m not saying you’re wrong or anything, I’m just trying to understand.
I don’t think it’s a TOS thing, just a lack of open source server software? To the best of my knowledge, it’s just not possible to host my own snap server. At least, I didn’t find any solution when I looked. Which seems weird, for an open source operating system.
What’s wrong with Snap?
Proprietary servers.

People want a full open stack, and the server is closed. Its less a technical complaint and more a philosophical one.
Not the person you are asking, just trying to add context on why some find that problematic for those who are reading later.

Surely it can be reverse engineered by the API that snap uses?
Uh… Sure…
But the competing options that require no reverse engineering are completely free, so…to each their own, I suppose.
