I understand the use cases for certain Linux distribution spinoffs that can eliminate complexity but it also breaks my heart when they use an ultra customizable distribution like Arch Linux. Typically, I will [1] customize my own installation media to do or contain whatever software or configurations I need without a third-party making assumptions for me. This is quite possibly what I like most about Arch Linux. I know what is going on under the hood because I set it up. I'm likely not a typical user for most spinoffs. I use Arch Linux, FreeBSD, Gentoo, RHEL, Debian, SLES, and Ubuntu for different use cases as required.

Maybe one day)
