I am not sure why this is marked as opinion. I can confirm that discussing with various Canonical staff back in April last year, the mechanism used to uplift to the snap would be blocked if gnome-software was a dependency not a recommendation. We did this for 20.04 and works through upgrades to 20.10 and 21.04
