TL;DR, you will end up with a clean GNOME desktop with flatpaks, similar to a fresh Fedora install.
Longer support windows with LTS? I could see some people or industries sticking with a particular LTS in order to keep particular pieces of software running.
Otherwise, I agree, why bother.
If you don’t care the entire operating system, just to run a few specific software, then there are gotta be better alternatives. Debian, Mint or even Fedora could be good alternatives.
