When trying to do 'sudo snap install eclipse', a message pops up:

"This revision of snap "eclipse" was published using classic confinement and thus
       may perform arbitrary system changes outside of the security sandbox that snaps
       are usually confined to, which may put your system at risk."

OK, but how risky is this? A bit of poking around turns up alternate ways of installation mentioned when trying to install:

snap vs apt install (here for eclipse)

And, from this post, if you use the Eclipse installer (assuming https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/installer), as noted here, it goes in one location, that's it:

remove permanently eclipse from ubuntu system

What are the tradeoffs of these installation methods? When one reads 'you may put your system at risk', what are we worried most about here?
