Here is a comment indicating why things got switched around:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1192330/comments/3
For quite some time there was not a python3-launchpadlib and we didn't
want to keep holding python2 in the archive because of apport. However,
once python3-launchpadlib became available it was never moved back to a
Depend.

Title:
python3-launchpadlib needs promotion from suggests
Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
If one wants to apport-collect, one gets an error about
python3-launchpadlib needing to be installed. One can easily install
it, but it really should be a Recommend, if not a Depend so one
doesn't have to go through this trouble. Right now, it's a Suggest. It
seems that during the whole Python2/3 transition some things got
switched around, but it had been a Depend for a long time before that.
