Sometimes it feels like debloating is a hobby to people with little to show for it

Well, the whole point of debloating is to end up with little in the way of stuff instead of lots of stuff ;)

I do get that and used to do a lot of it myself, but usually the results are just fairly minor. That’s what I meant by it seeming more like a hobby than something hugely beneficial

True, also wouldn’t be too much work. Just some additional dialogues on first start up asking you which plugins you’d like installed
