Can't Mint just choose not to incorporate them? They did that with snaps

Snap was just one side thing. Coreutils is, well, core. Diverging on that is like diverging on systemd: if Mint does that, they may as well split from Ubuntu completely, as the dependency hell with Ubuntu packages will be completely unmanageable.
