AUR repository isn't supported by the core tools and packages. To use it one has to install external scripts. So it's by no means part of the system.

All it takes to build air packages is makepkg from the core pacman package. With gut you can grab aur packages from the terminal, and hit is also core. Every Arch install must have pacman and hit is in base-devel, a package group in core all AUR pkgbuilds are designed to assume is installed.
Urm, you need git, you need build tools... and pacman.
That's it. But oh yeah, because I do these things by hand and check whether the source urls point to the place I'd actually like to install (and other code doesn't download external sources, eg. in the PKGBUILD or external scripts like *.install files), I'm suddenly an exception.
I just noticed that the blue used on the Archlinux logo is actually quite consistent with Rick's hair color. https://i.imgur.com/kkE25w2.jpg Fits me. I don't give a damn.
I'll assure you Rick has a blue-grayish color while the Arch logo is Navy Blue.
Which, as I said, very conveniently is glossed over by Arch users.
That's a problem with Arch users, not with Arch. It's unfortunately common that fanboys undermine the reputation of reasonable software.
Oh yes, it is a problem with the users, not the software itself, but you don't get to separate the two in the case of an OS or distribution.
