You cannot forbid users to chose arbitrary filesystem layout during installation. If this is so dangerous, snapper should refuse to perform rollback (or even create snapshots actually). If snapper allows it, how can you blame users?
Because snapper makes a filesystem snapshot and rollback, not a system snapshot. What is the difference? snapper does not care at all if this is your home partition, data partition or root filesystem. This doesn't make any difference for snapper. And since snapper does not know what you snapshot and if rollback can work, it cannot warn you. That's why snapper/rollback of the root filesystem is only supported with the default filesystem layout (including /@) and nothing else. But this does not mean, that you cannot create a complete different layout which works, too. As we e.g. did for openSUSE Kubic.
