Isn't that really a discoverability problem?
I could imagine having menu items pointing to best-in-class
applications which are not actually installed. Selecting the menu
item would bring up a box asking you if you want to install it.
That wasn't his main point which you removed:
"But there is also the audience who are trying out KDE (or Gnome/etc)
for the first time and providing them with an installed base of
software to try / check out is convenient and the right thing to do."

This is an issue about default applcaitons. As I said above:
"I believe you are missing the point of defaults.... which is to provide
as complete environment as possible out of the box. Since this is a KDE
spin, we should be providing as complete of a KDE environment as
possible. Users shouldn't be required to go on a treasure hunt to seek
out available KDE applications. If you don't want to use a KDE default
you can easily either go into settings and change the defaults, remove
the package you don't want, etc."
