It's corner case, but user is user. We could say same thing about udev, 
systemd, dnf...
Why these are protected? Who would want to remove it from the system, when they 
know
such operation will break system significantly? The protection has some purpose 
and
for me is not relevant, how much is possible, that someone would do that 
improbably
action. I saw many situations that were *impossible*, but user can do 
everything. So
the elementary set of packages should be protected.
