I don’t think there’s a good reason these days. With ArchInstall, the process is as easy as other distros and then all you have to do is install a DE and you’re all set. Arch used to have a much higher barrier to entry; that just doesn’t exist anymore.
You can even install the DE from archinstall.
So their reasoning may have been a graphical installer? I also wanted that but since I used a tutorial to get arch installed and working on my raspberry pi, I didn't actually use a graphical installer and I didn't miss it.
