Will Flatpak and Snap replace desktop Linux native apps?

No.
Pardon my language but there's a well known quote very appropriate for this question:
"You there: F*ck off. And when you get there, f*ck off from there too. Then f*ck off some more. Keep f*cking off until you get back here. Then f*ck off again.”
Redhat and Ubuntu can whip their dead horse "packs" and "snaps" till the end of time, but no self-respecting sysadmin's gonna allow those things onto a enterprise server. I've only ever seen it once on a corporate instance, but it was only allowed as no one would have to support it and no one cared if it stopped working. As for desktop, it feels largely irrelevant as Linux on the desktop has such low usage, but do people really want a system that doesn't work anything like a normal server? Half of the point of Linux on desktop is to give you a place to develop on a like-to-like system.

Complete Nonsense
Oh please. Why does anyone still think Gartner is relevant? I'd bet a shiny coin that someone paid for for that propaganda piece. These dinosaur CxOs want to get some value from their expensive leases.
In my field (DevOps engineer / Cloud Architects), as far as I can tell we're about 75% remote, and most people forced to go "hybrid" are looking elsewhere.
