I don't think apt-get is going away anytime soon, and that apt isn't intended for scripting usage in general. OTOH I'm not aware of any practical problems with using apt when we're not parsing output, other than the annoying warnings

Whenever using apt, we should be updating it first to pull in any package server changes made since the OS image was created.
(Also, I think apt is more modern than apt-get. apt-get output is stable while apt is not, but we're not relying on the output here so 🤷 I made the change.)
