In a nutshell, because a base Arch install has nothing, that means that all the little hooks and overlays that Ubuntu, for example, implements to ensure you have a nice and easy experience are not there in Arch you add only what you want which is makes it faster. Now that is pretty scary for someone who doesn't know what they're doing which is why the likes of Manajaro came about.

Thanks. So its like the race car version of the family car. With all the niceties striped out to make it go faster.
Yeah, think of it like those kit cars you build yourself. Only need one seat? Want fog lights? Brakes are for wimps!
