Thanks Patrice for the info.
To see the files in /snap/gimp/405/ you have to start the Gimp snap once in the current session and it loads files out of the compressed snap file into that directory. If you don't start Gimp they are not there.
What I'm thinking is canonical has made a secure version of appimage that updates apps automatically. Snap is actually fast contrary to what I thought because it's a compressed file. The snap making is automated and they are full of bloat and because they probably don't use Gimp they don't know that stuff doesn't work. I found you can unpack snaps, edit them and repack them. But they need some kind of authorization from the archbishops at canonical. I tried to make it comical
(that's a pun)
