Good question. The apt process only uninstalls programs that it installed. Linux tracks other programs using apt that have dependencies but if you manually add programs then they may lose functionality. That command also tells you programs and libraries that will be uninstalled and there is a second run needed to remove dependencies.
A good example of a potential conflict might be ffmpeg. This installer will install it if you haven't and uninstall it. That doesn't mean you don't want it.
There are also several things that won't be removed using apt and I am in the process of documenting this, not only for uninstalling but help clean up things from the last 3 years as we prepare for netcore 6 migration.
