Almost everything can be installed after the fact. Media players, web browsers, document viewers, games. None are "required" and can be installed afterwards. That does not mean that an office suite isnt useful. Having an office suite installed gives the impression that Fedora is serious and redy for work, and also stops the default installation from being seen as a "toy". When OOO.o wasnt installed by default, it used to be one of the first steps carried out by me (and I suspect many others). Having it on the live media is IMO a good thing.
