It's Cannonical. They prefer implementing everything themselves fast, rather than developing a more sustainable project with the rest of the community over a longer timescale. When they do that, there will be very little buy-in from the wider community.
Others could technically implement another snap store for their own distro, but they'd have to build a lot of the backend that Cannonical didn't release. It's easier to use Flatpak or AppImage or whatever rather than hitch themselves onto Cannonicals's homegrown solution that might get abandoned down the line like Mir or Ubuntu Touch.
It's Cannonical. They prefer implementing everything themselves fast, rather than developing a more sustainable project with the rest of the community over a longer timescale. It makes sense that when they do that, there will be very little buy-in from the wider community. Much like Unity and Mir.
As you say - why would others put time into the less supported system? Better alternatives exist. If Canonical want their own software ecosystem, they'll have to maintain it themselves. Which, based on Mir and Ubuntu Touch, they don't have a good track record of.
They're not converting it back into electricity, this is for industrial process heat. They have 100 units of electrical energy and 98 units go into whatever the industry needs to heat.
Lots of industries use ovens, kilns or furnaces. Mostly fueled by gas at the moment. Using electricity would be very expensive unless they can timeshift usage and get low spot prices. Since they need heat anyway, thermal storage is pretty cheap and efficient.
It's heat though. They're turning electricity into heat then moving that heat to where it's needed, when it's needed. Making heat from electricity is nearly 100% efficient, and pumping losses for moving fluids are going to be tiny compared to the the amount of heat they can move. They quote the heat loss in storage seperately as 1% per day. It seems reasonable.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. It makes perfect sense that Cannonical made it's own proprietary package ecosystem and while technically anyone can build their own snap store, ain't nobody got time for that.

is just so convenient.
Doesn't seem like much info on the APU anomaly:
Analysis shows that one temperature measurement exceeded a pre-defined limit and that the flight software correctly triggered a shut down
Sounds like the fix is changing the start up procedure such that it doesn't reach the temperature limit. It would be nice to know why it went outside what they deemed safe but I guess it is rocket science.
... for you.
Because the minor diameter of the barrel is 5.56 mm and the major diameter is 5.69 mm. If the bullet were smaller than that then the propellant would blow past it. They didn't make a 'murican millimetre like they did with the imperial system.
If it doesn't have reticulated splines; I'm out.
