OK... and? This doesn't matter for a desktop, because:

1. Having access to the user's home directory is way more serious than being able to install drivers or whatever

2. There are a million other ways to escalate to root by obtaining the user's password

I also don't understand the point of these distros, just install Arch with KDE via archinstall, it literally takes 15 minutes. Why is it that people feel the need to use someone's Arch setup?

The point is that there are millions of people out there that are curious about Linux but are put off by anything command line. Distro like this, especially Quatro which has a big focus on agents, makes it more inviting and gives people an instant path to get help/have their problems solved without them having to search archaic error messages

Because they like their Arch setup? Because installing Omarchy is three to five minutes at most so three to five times faster? XD

Because it works out of the box unlike a lot of other distros

Because it looks cool and DHH makes a lot noises that sounds like you should listen to him.

And he politically aligns with a lot of people.

Lol! He's gordon ramsay of tech, who's frequently contradictory himself. On Round 2 with lex, he said something like no one lost recently due to using digital Maps. Well, check this one - https://youtu.be/z5ElIor-oXk?si=XfcS1UtC2OWReVXr

He's bashing and insulting all engineers and then asking for their contributions and complaining that not many people are committing code in open source repos.
