The compromise in Debian has always been that a service that gets installed

That's been the policy, but's it's stupid nowadays. It's too easy to
pull in an unexpected service when installing something with all the
tasks and dependency chains. There needs to be a mode where a user can
say, "I don't want to be a server" and no longer needs to worry about
accidentally becoming a server.
