This is interesting. Core system repos like the fedora and updates repos can't be disabled in gnome-software using the toggle, but can be disabled if you click on their name. But you're still required to provide an admin password, so it's not a silent action that can be done by mistake.

Do we have some requirement that core system repos can't be disabled in gnome-software? Do we consider it basic functionality? Perhaps the Workstation WG would like to make a statement about this?

Note: There's

All applications installed by default in Fedora Workstation must comply with each MUST and MUST NOT guideline in the Applications and Launchers policy.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_35_Final_Release_Criteria#Default_application_functionality

which links here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Guidelines/Applications_and_Launchers
and says:

If an app is part of the agreed upon "core desktop experience"[6], it MUST NOT be removable from within GNOME Software (eg. GNOME Software must not remove itself).

but that only speaks about apps, not repos.

AGREED RejectedFinalBlocker

Discussed during the 2021-09-20 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as a "RejectedBlocker (Final)" was made as, while this seems like an unfortunate behavior and it'd be good to fix it, but it's not really serious enough to violate the "basic functionality" criterion or any others.
