The first part you said I couldn’t have said any better.
Now isn’t arch a binary system which has their system files and packages in binary form.
That doesn’t leave much for fixing a problem on the system if it’s binary files.
Mostly it is just a personal preference. Sometimes it is related to the window manager. Sometimes it is the package manager. There are a number of reasons.
I personally am torn between arch and Ubuntu (especially with their lite install option) I like both for different reasons. I have been considering moving to arch on my laptop.
