Yes.

But even in Linux, if you go around randomly
deleting or installing stuff, if you go outside
the scope or bounds of the automated update system,
yon can break stuff.

For example, if I do this, this is kind of outside the
scope and bounds of any package manager. If you're following
the rules properly, you're not doing any construct
at all like this.
