"human factor"  means it is extra work for someone who was already
using a linux distribution because it did what they wanted - which
doesn't seem good to me either.  And since I don't understand it, I
don't know how to prove that some arbitrary addition can't cause a
dependency loop when added to some arbitrary existing configuration.
Do you?

No, it is a very real scenario for me.  If I leave the upgrades for
someone else it will probably be the end of linux use here.
