As @The_Jit@lemmy.world said in another comment:

They explain that in the article…

The OS includes a wide array of additional software and over 200 game-oriented packages tied to the classic Commodore brand. It also features a modern implementation of the BASIC programming language.

Still feels a bit excessive to front load all of it instead of making it an optional download on initial setup.
