I would think people who use LFS are doing it for the learning experience and not necessarily for a daily driver OS.

Maybe? When I did LFS/BLFS I opted for an i3-gaps setup with a compositor and some other eye candy, and had a lot of fun tinkering. I suppose some folks might want the experience of building an entire DE from source, but that seems like a bit much.

I use Sway window manager and am more than happy to avoid those huge bloated Guiwares
