Text editors are very opinionated. Emacs ships with tons of propaganda, including the complete text of rms' political manifesto; and Vim advocates for a charity in Uganda.
edit to add: It's the GNU Manifesto, which is an appendix in emacs' Info node.

On Vim it's the startup splash screen:
~ Help poor children in Uganda!
~ type :help iccf<Enter> for information

edit2: But that was an excellent choice of analogy, there was no need to delete it!
