Also, GCC alone wouldn't be enough - you need to install a lot more to be able to compile stuff. That's why having something like build-essential is a pretty good idea.

They could make a GCC package alias so that it automatically tries to install build-essential if one tries to install gcc - that probably does the right thing most of the time.

Alternatively, they could go a little bit softer and say "gcc not found - suggested: did you mean to try apt install build-essentials"

Just saying GCC not found without any additional hints is not very user friendly.
