To be fair it was caused by installing steam. Why System76 didn't test that I don't know.
Its partial fault on all sides that added up.
Ubuntu shipped with that issue for some time and fixed it after some time.
Pop os iso on the download page contained it.
The package came from ubuntu but this issue was not visible since up to date pop os does not have this issue. Only the version in iso. So Pop os too made some mistake.

Not to blame anyone but all of them did partial mistake that added up
Almost like linus had agenda to oblige to
