Ah, Snap loves being weird for the sake of being weird. Snapchat was a constant struggle for me (Gen Z) to operate before I stopped using it. The latest reminder for how hip and weird they are (in their world): The text "web.snapchat.com" is blue, underlined ... but not actually a clickable link. How cute, quirky and hip! The youngsters will love it.

I am not gen z but I struggled with the anti-intuitive and weird interface. I grant that its quirkiness may be part of its appeal and the kids seem to love it. Could you not open in active camera mode though? That was just one annoying feature, I could list the things that just drove me bonkers.
