Yuck. Can you ask the apt developers whether this is intended? I always 
expected apt-get and apt to be functionally equivalent (i.e. to always 
take the same decisions when installing/upgrading/removing packages 
since they use the same resolver in the background).
(If they are not, testing apt, too, means doubling the number of 
piuparts tests...)

Have you tried default-mysql-server + (roundcube-core (or roundcube) or 
cacti)? This yields the unwanted behavior (removing default-mysql-server 
+ mariadb-server-10.3 without installing mariadb-server-10.5)) with 
apt-get in my piuparts tests both with and without --install-recommends.
I can find more examples that only work with --install-recommends.
