I'd prefer they make it the default to not install it. I don't need to print from Linux. I don't print from Windows nor MacOS much either. Less than once a year. But I particularly don't print from Linux. I suspect that true for most people. cups shouldn't be a default install IMO

Many Linux users and developers don't run anything else. If they're to print at all it'll be from Linux.

that's fine. They can install it. I suspect the actual number of computers running linux that need to able to print be less than 1 of 20.
