That goes beyond confounding; it's downright frustrating.

Have you installed any of the "recommended" protocol packages (like
'telepathy-gabble', for instance)? If not, this might provide support
for the justifiability of the default installation of recommends.

BTW, am I dreaming or are you using a mail client that hasn't been
maintained since the year 2000? Or am I getting that wrong somehow?

I looked here:

and read there
