As I just migrated from windows this year it's just wild to me that "comes with x pre-packaged" is an argument at all. That sounds like having a windows version that already has, say, steam preinstalled, which takes 2-5 minutes to do myself (in Windows or Linux). I wouldn't specifically pick that to save the 2-5 minutes. Researching it would take longer.
Now, if we're talking about things that are actually hard to integrate into some distros that's a different question, but I clearly am not informed enough to imagine what that could be.
