Seems pushing a crypto agenda.

Hosting a Bitcoin node is literally the last thing I would host. Almost 600 gb of garbage transactions so you can check the 500 bytes of your own transactions without relying on external services?

Most definitely, they're not shy about that. A Bitcoin node used to be installed by default since that was their users' main goal and the point of the project, but as their self-hosted app list grew they made all the crypto apps optional. It doesn't bother me having the option so long as it isn't forced (I don't own Bitcoin). I just look for the biggest app store, which is why I'm rolling vanilla Arch and Docker Compose instead of a project like Umbrel for now.
