What I am talking about here is im-config's preference ordering. Its default is found in /usr/share/im-config/data/: 21_ibus.rc 22_fcitx.rc 23_fcitx5.rc 24_uim.rc ... where ibus is most preferred. (IMO this ordering itself is carefully managed and good.) This used to be able to be overridden by IM_CONFIG_PREFERRED_RULE in /etc/default/im-config, while it is no longer possible, as long as DESKTOP_SETUP_IBUS contains "GNOME". (IMO this variable itself is reasonable because gnome-shell unconditionally starts /usr/bin/ibus-daemon if it is found and then it sometimes interferes with another IM framework.) So once ibus is installed on the GNOME desktop for some reason, ibus is always preferred by default. On the GNOME desktop, "non-ibus IM framework is installed and used by default, switch to ibus if you want it" is no longer possible. I wrote "breaks" in this sense.

Now that DESKTOP_SETUP_IBUS variable exists, non-ibus users are already warned: "When ibus is installed, another IM system is not preferred by default, which may be interfered by ibus" So IMO this commit is now reasonable.
