As many others has said, having screenshots of the different programs isn't included in the AUR. The priorities of Arch Linux won't be the same as those of Fedora, Mint, etc., as they target a different audience who appreciate a more minimal distribution.

To put it another way, it would be like going to a hot dog stand for a sandwich. They serve hot dogs and intend for them to be eaten by people who like hot dogs more than sandwiches. If you want a sandwich, you would go to the sandwiches stall, not yell at the hot dog guy about why the hot dog doesn't taste like a sandwich!
