    This has been false for a while. The Ubuntu Software Center has been handling deb installs for a while on my machines. I just checked on my oldest machine - 20.04 - and the Ubuntu Software app launches on double clicking a deb file. I do not have gdebi installed. I don’t recall when it replaced gdebi, whether it was in 16.04, 18.04 or 20.04 but it’s definitely the case in 20.04. So check your info before getting worked up.
