That seems odd, that just means higher costs for support. Pick one distro then do custom packages or Ansible for your stuff that you want on top but don’t go a million different ways
Going a millions different ways is more in the FOSS spirit than starting off by saying 'everyone will use this list of software'. They can't know what will be the best fit for everyone so they're approaching it flexibly.
They can iterate in the future or come up with standards as they need, but in the beginning it's better to try a lot of different things to see what people discover.
its smart for a start cause everyone cooks and then they can share the best parts
