Furthermore, the programs you list would probably be considered niche apps, and those familiar with them are already aware of how to install them. Linux Lite is designed to appeal to the new Linux user coming from another platform like Windows. As such, some decisions are going to be made on their behalf. The most popular open source options for browsing and office suite are the ones chosen as defaults. Those being Firefox and Libre Office.
As far as Lite Software is concerned, not every user is going to require the programs of Lite Software. A music player or a dedicated book reader come to mind. The programs in Lite Software are often chosen based on open source popularity or sometimes based on a poll of forum users. Even wallpaper choices often come down to a poll. So if you want to be in a position to influence that or Lite Software via a poll, stay engaged with the forum.
Cheers!
