I get the point, but there's for example
Evolutionwhich you cannot uninstall from GNOME without uninstalling the GNOME itself-
Well at least it doesn't fire off background processes even if you don't use it.

Well, you could if the package was set up differently, or if you wanted to go at it manually. But they way the maintainers set the dependencies makes apt think it has to remove the whole DE, or at least a bunch of essential parts of it.

Can't you pass something like
--unmergeor--nodepsso package manager will ignore dependencies? And then add it to apt equivalent ofpackage.prpvidedto tell that this package is managed by another package manager(you). -
That's the point. Obviously you can uninstall any windows application too, it's just that Microsoft doesn't want you to.

Is this some AI generated answer? I refuse to think a person can talk like that.
The "obviously" comes from the article which states that Microsoft allows uninstallilng software which obviously means they always could do that. They just didn't want to allow users to do it.
