It's worth noting that nftables is not a newfangled piece of external software – it's been mainlined in the Linux kernel since 2013, and was intended to be the successor to legacy iptables.

If nftables automatically uninstalls iptables as an indirect dependency, then no, the default should not change. That would seem to break every Arch system currently using iptables.

It doesn't.
