agreed

but realize the lernel is a very special package
following your argumentation it would be handeled as any other
apckage and you would have not way to boot the old one if
boot fails after a update

where it would be useful?
nowhere - press enter by accident while typing a command

where would it be useful to uninstall base-package and YUM/DNF itself
bringing your system in a non-recoverable state?
