Bugs happen, Linux distros aren't exception.

Linus was warned, that something wrong is going to happen and whether he really, really wants to proceed. He did. Without even reading what apt is complaining about.

The bug in Windows updater that wiped out users profile dirs with all documents inside didn't warn in a similar way. Yet, we are not harping about it all the time. We all understand that it was a bug, just like that borked steam package.

How many users switching from Windows do you think will read about apt when they've been sold the idea that Linux is now great for gaming?
