Assuming you mean "they don't actually want to use Arch" as a criticism (rather than a truism), I think that's fair for a distro described as "Arch linux but configured X way". I don't think it's a good criticism for something like SteamOS which is configurable but is aiming hard for "it just works".

I can, and I do.
