Hi,

Why? Yes, all current OSs have a lot of useless things from some one 
point of view.
For example, at work I do not need X while driver development, but at 
home I need it.
At home I may not need almost all development tools.
This is normal. If I want to setup a system fast and without additional 
efforts I'll setup
a typical options. And I'll start use it as fast as it would be up. Most 
peoples do the
same.

It is better to have all thing in generic system that suits the majority.
If you want to setup a custom system, you need to do it manually.
