I agree you have a valid point, your reasoning makes sense. However,
it seems to me that by the same reasoning bubblewrap should be turned
into a recommended dependency too. Your command
    opam init --bare --disable-sandboxing default /path/to/repository

also works if bubblewrap is forcefully removed (and the dependencies
broken, for the sake of the example). Therefore, there exists a way to
use opam without bubblewrap, it could be recommended only.

I agree, and I am more willing to demote bubblewrap to Recommends than 
promote ca-certificates to Depends.
