I searched but could not find an explanation why yast-snapper does not have a GUI equivalent to snapper rollback. Is there a reason for that? If not it'd be really cool for basic end users to just click one button for e.g. resetting their messed up system.

Created a card in the Trello card used by the YaST team to prioritize tasks https://trello.com/c/SL9M4Jw0/4147-yast2-snapper-equivalent-to-snapper-rollback

Sorry, that board is not public. But it only contains organizational details for the team, so you are not missing anything.

I am not sure if it's desirable to let a novice user do a rollback with one button click. Even if there is a confirmation dialog, there is a real danger that users just click it away too casually.

While I understand your concerns, I'd not follow it. Of course, working with filesystems always includes danger. But hiding really valuable features by not adding GUI buttons? Not so good. And to my understanding, that's the exact opposite of YaST's purpose.

That aside, having novices doing a rollback on the terminal is something more frightening to me than a button with additional confirmation dialog.
