That's the minimum that you should be doing regardless of the OS. And thus, that's not where the risk is at.

It's probably more difficult to understand if you get paid regardless of whether you can get meaningful work done.

But for those of us who live on the other side, losing an unplanned half a day due to an OS issue that actively causes us to lose money, it matters.

Arch is bleeding edge, this means software bugs are far more likely on it.
