Because these people are trying to get an OS running on 15 year old dumpster dived laptops. It's kind of a Linux thing to get it running usably on the biggest old piece of shit you can find. I've done similar myself with a Pentium II machine from the late 90s in 2015.

People with modern multiple cores and dozens of GB of RAM are not usually worried about these things.

Honestly fedora with i3 runs well enough on my pentium 4 laptop. It just overheats in summer sometimes. I am thinking about trying LFS on my desktop one day though. That would probably be the least bloat possible for a setup that I'm happy with and I could make fun of arch users.
