I fully agree. That was the motivation behind removing
dislpay-buffer-alist in 399481bad1. It is indeed not a good idea to
overwrite user customisations. They can be deliberate. For example, see
https://orgmode.org/list/87h7ij12t8.fsf@localhost

display-buffer-base-action, if customised by user, can later be
fine-tuned using display-buffer-alist. If necessary, the user can easily
add org-goto popup as an exception. At least, it is my understanding
from reading docs.

However, pop-up-frames and pop-up-windows are different beasts. They
cannot be fine-tuned by the user to not affect org-goto.  AFAIK, the
only way for the user to overcome the problem would be advicing
org-goto.

My second version of the patch also fixes org-goto interface :)
On the other hand, kicking org-no-popups macro completely may be an
option. pop-up-windows and pop-up-frames are obsolete and should not be
used anymore.

Also, a compromise could be changing org-no-popups to just
(let (pop-up-frames) ...)

WDYT?

Best,
Ihor
