I really think Linux should make it harder somehow to uninstall critical parts of your operating system.
I'm sure it might not be easy to work out a mechanism for this that would not add friction for those who need to swap out large components of their desktop experience, but I personally think this is one of those things that sometimes really scares people about Linux (along with rm -Rf /)
Every couple years I find myself not paying enough attention to the apt update text and then I end up swearing off any interaction with Linux for months.
