If I install an operating system from an image built within the last 20 years, it being able to install a single piece of software is a perfectly reasonable expectation.

Yes, it's good practice to check for updates first. You do it, I do it. But Linus here represents something special here. He is a technical user but unfamiliar with Linux. If he can cause a system to completely break by simply asking it to install one piece of software in a standard way, then what hope is there for a layman?

Getting on your high horse and talking about the "right" order to do things makes you seem like an elitist looking down on the poor peons who dare to try and use their OS in any other way than the one you deem correct. That's why people think you're upset.

Oh, and as for blaming Linus, you did literally say it was Linus' user error and that he only has himself to blame. Your words, not mine.
