I get what you're saying and do agree to an extent. But you have to bare in mind that the bundles are presented in such a way to deliberately trick users into installing software they don't want installed. SF very much intentionally loads adware and other software that they know the vast majority of users wouldn't want; and very much do so in a covert way (eg having the "Install" button labelled "I agree" so users think they're signing a EULA).
So one could argue that their installer is a trojan since it's actual behaviour isn't the same as it's presented behavior. Thus even if the software they install isn't malware, their method of deployment is.
