How to remove pop-desktop completely
And if that's not enough, you yourself seem to have been responsible that exactly this change was added to apt. If I may refresh your memory: https://github.com/pop-os/apt/pull/1 It even links to upstream Debian work mentioning exactly this method: https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/196

win x lin
And no matter how hard it is, if it's possible to break it, someone will find their way to completely breaking the system. Look at what Linus had to do to break his Pop!_OS install - go to the terminal (which already renders it far out of reach for the average user), run sudo apt install steam, and ignore a giant error. And that wouldn't work anymore anyway, because Pop now uses a version of APT that completely forbids breaking the system unless specifically configured to allow it - so there is now an extra step in there, telling APT not to preserve pop-desktop.

Confessions of a self admitted gatekeeper
This isn't locking it down. This is about providing sensible defaults like I mentioned before. For power users, the control is still there. It's easy enough to create the `/etc/apt/break-my-system` file so that you can shoot yourself in the foot if you wanted to. This is not similar to what ChromeOS or Android is doing at all.

The Linux community is growing – and not just in numbers
They have already committed a fix that improves things dramatically.
