#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
Makes linear usage more smooth without need to add unused code and objects.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the linear-stepper behavior in the linked StackBlitz example, then trace the Angular Material stepper implementation and its linear-mode validation. Done means a linear stepper can move to a step without an associated control, while existing controlled steps retain their expected behavior; verify the change with a focused regression check.
