People appreciate clean, good defaults. Nothing unnecessary, everything following a well thought-out pattern.

If you break this clean design out of pragmatism, to ship something that most users would install themselves anyway, most people will be alright with that. There are several distros that ship Google Chrome and Steam, and most people are okay with that or tolerate it, out of pragmatism.

But if you compromise the clean concept of a distro to ship something that people wouldn't usually install, they will get upset.

Whether that's Ubuntu Unity's Amazon integration, the Copilot button, bloatware on a Windows PC or a 2010s cheap Samsung phone, or shortcuts to services that most users wouldn't typically want to use.

The windows 10/11 LinkedIn shortcut caused the same kind of complaints as the grok/x shortcuts in Omarchy, for the same reason.
