Just to present an example from Fedora: clamav within Fedora was and is considered rather cumbersome packaged and many users turn to 3rd party repos to get clamav installed.
Actually, I stirred up a lot of muck not too long ago on a mailing list, exactly on this topic. The way they package clamav is less than useful for newbies and for those who just want to quickly enable a simple AV filter. It does help those who need a complex, sophisticated, multi-component setup. But those are exactly the people who don't need a lot of help, so why target the package towards them?
