...and installing Steam is the route you want to use to do that?

If you want to be able to tear down your environment and rebuild it or use something else yourself that's great. I don't want that taken away from you.

It absolutely should not be in the chain of possible effects from trying to install a common piece of desktop software with a broad target audience.

Not at all, and that's a good point that it'd make sense for a package manager to somehow discern someone doing install steam from ones doing purge gnome-desktop. But then, if the first resolves to the latter, something has already gone catastrophically wrong, any action here would be a stop-gap, which this whole "do as I say" thing essentially was. The good thing, at least, is that it's in our hands to come up with a better solution and propose it in a form of pull request.
