I would say it's better to give them something rather then nothing.

Arguably the problem is not that they are installed but enabled and
started when they are not being used which negatively affects the
overall experience and I personally am more inline with not installing
anything unless it's actually going to be used by the end users.
Basically Gnome would be shipped bare bone with nothing more than icons
which trigger install ( flatpak ) of the application when the end users
plans on use it for the first time.( at that point the end user is
indicating that he wants to use that application ).
