For most corporate environments, "local control" means "tell our 
externally-hosted service provider what stuff to install for us".  Eg 
how Google and Apple allow corporate customers to have apps that are 
only available to devices registered with @evilcorp.com addresses, or 
even on a per-account basis.

So I can easily see Canonical's answer to this lack of customization as 
"we will host per-organization snap repositories for only $X/mo/device" 
or something like that.  Continuing their efforts to wall off their 
users into proprietary monetizable silos.
