LLMs are useful to only a subset of users, so including it in general distribution is waste, because many people will end up with this software that was downloaded, installed, and maintained by someone, but they never use at all.

That's absolutely untrue in this case.

If you read the article (the headline text is a link to an article) you would see that they specifically address this:

-AI tools will not be added to Fedora’s existing system images, Editions, etc, by the AI Desktop initiative.

It won't be included in the general distribution. They're talking about a new system image that someone would have to choose to install.
