Logical! That global toggle exists now, added very recently.

But, exactly as you say, it should be more granular.  And by
default the value of the switch for Eglot should be "yes, install and
upgrade its dependencies like it happened in Emacs 28".  Whether that is
because Eglot is listed under a special category or just listed
specifically, I don't think is very important.

I already proposed this (but without the toggle) before the
heavy-handed global toggle that forcibly breaks a part of
the users was introduced.
