I would like to mention here that this is the first time that a modularity issue affected me negatively as a user.

I maintain a quite pristine system with fedora 31 on my home computer, knowing full well, exactly what is installed, dependencies, configs etc. And at some point while doing the schedule dnf update I get 3 modules enabled for whatever reason that I had no control over. No information, nothing.

I get there might be some quirks here and there, but having that done on a stable fedora due to eclipse moving into a module so late in the release cycle is just unacceptable. I don't know what a good solution would be here, maybe have eclipse as a flatpak only or something, but this is clearly breaking user experience and expectations.
