  If a distribution didn’t come with any default software, it would be unusable out of the box by the average user. If you want that, choose something like Arch or Gentoo or LFS.

  The point of FOSS is freedom and choice. You can choose a distribution that aligns with your needs, and once it’s running, you can e.g. replace Firefox with Chrome or use Nautilus instead of Thunar. Try uninstalling IE/Edge or Explorer on Windows for a direct comparison.

  make install typically also handles copying things like libraries, shared assets, and docs as needed, but yeah precompiled software is usually a tar… or loading a downloaded package file into the package manager.

  The same logic does work on a 3 year old. A parent is not forced to feed it and can have someone remove it. They just don’t call it abortion. adoption.com/how-to-give-a-child-up-for-adoption/

  Maybe some day a fetus can be removed without killing it, but 3 year olds already have that ability.
