The point I was making was not that you're saying it's impossible to install a deb.
The snarky point I was making was that a year ago you were fine recommending people install gdebi. Now you're incandescent with rage with a software choice in a product. It's all a little bit overblown.
Take a step back and think why it might not be a good idea in general to make it easy to install random debs from the internet?
On install, they run as root, and can do literally anything. 🤷
