I think the origins of this was back at the inception of Android when the default keyboard didn’t have slide technology, so at that time I think it made reasonable sense that you could bring your own keyboard app, now that Gboard is full featured it probably wouldn’t hurt to lock it down, but it also depends on if every vendor doesn’t provide their own keyboard app that is horrible to use and sets that as the only keyboard option.
