Well, "not gonna work that well" is actually false. In fact, there are quite a few "power users that install and/or remove stuff all the time" using Silverblue and, yes, also MicroOS Desktop (although, definitely less! :-P). This is made possiblle by the combination of flatpak apps and of toolbox and distrobox. Then, sure, it's still possible that one does not like it... It's also a matter of taste, after all. But it does work quite well. :-) That said, I agree with Lil that the feedback you're providing is very useful. It tells us that we need to make really sure that users will know what to do and how to use an immutable OS (and put together a better default environment, which we knew already! :-P).
Just imagine trying to file a bugreport for a KDE app, where you have to install debugpackages for a good backtrace...
Yeah, well, no. In fact, most of the times, you'll be filing bug reports to Flathub, for which you don't need to install any RPM (and hence no reboot).
