    It is a good idea. Imagine you are completely new to Ubuntu and want to install chromium. You’re gonna search on Google how to do that and you will probably find an old article telling you to use APT. If ‘sudo apt install chromium’ did not work it would be very frustrating.

      Only reason it wouldn’t work is Canonical killing the .deb package. That was an unforced error. So no, still not a good idea.
