Auto-snapping is unreliable
Snapping function is often unreliable, snapping to unintuitive objects (fx. an object on an offscreen artboard rather than one next to the object being moved)
Further - snapping allignment is unreliable, often claiming to snap to allign with an edge, but when placed being off by a tiny bit, scewing layouts.

This would require a video recording of the way it works, the test file, along with the list of snapping options you have enabled: Snap to Point, Smart Guides, 'Highlight anchors on mouse over' (even though it’s not technically a snapping option, it DOES influence the snapping), etc.
It’s not that I don’t know what you are talking about, but the proofs are required to help to nudge the problem.
The more evidence we have to show the team, the better our chances are.
