This seems like a decision that was made by design at one point, but may not work for some current needs.

The following series of commands will result in an app that depends on Cocoapods, even though no plugins have been added:

flutter create -t module test_module
cd test_module
flutter make-host-app-editable

This seems undesireable, especially in the context of the new work to make these templates the preferred default.

@mravn if you have any additional context you could share on it that would be appreciated! I have an old email on it, but it's missing some details I think.
