From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Dude, this is like asking "Which car manufacturer ships new cars with mirros folded?" Every driver ought to know that it's only a matter of pressing the button and they fold. Disqualifying all those good manufacturers because they don't fold their mirrors before shipping sounds stupid.
Same here on this topic, it's only a matter of running one command to create the user. Options include writing the instructions down on a piece of paper before giving the computer away, or close the little gap between post-installation and setting up users by yourself.
I think they want to give away computers without user accounts already created, that’s all.
