You can only lock them for a while last tine I checked, can’t you?
I’ve needed an old GIMP version before for a project I was working on. I wasn’t using Ubuntu at the time, but would’ve been pretty screwed if it just updated itself after X months.
I’m specifically talking about Snaps, I have no issues with native packages and controlling them. The problem is, since apt has become a wrapper for snap in Ubuntu, I can’t even really tell what’s being installed anymore.

Did they fix the Snap startup time, finally?
There are different ways of holding back packages: with dpkg, apt, dselect, aptitude or Synaptic. Lots of options.

I don’t often use Snaps, so I dk. Regardless, KDE bugs are my biggest slow down lmao.
