If I'm just installing a program, I shouldn't even have to consider that it might uninstall an essential part of the system. That's not even in the realm of possibility. And yes, it did output a warning, but the warning was mixed in with a lot of jargon that Linus couldn't be expected to understand. I think this change (where you have to create a file to allow dangerous operations like this, and it doesn't even tell you what file to create, so you'd have to search for it and would likely find severe warnings) is far better than the approach that Linus encountered.

flatpak-external-data-checker
A tool for checking if the external data used in Flatpak manifests is still up to date
You mean libfoo across all Flatpaks won’t get updated? That is the purpose of things like https://github.com/flathub/flatpak-external-data-checker, which are not perfect but do mostly help updating libfoos quite a bit.
