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.

You answered it yourself in your post.
It is subjective.
I think the concept applies more to whats preinstalled and less to what you yourself install
To illustrate, personally I think:
Ubuntu is bloat, because when I used it it was a hassle to remove everythink I knew I never would use.
Archinstall without template is not bloat, because there is nothing installed that I would not use.
But archinstall with for example the KDE Plasma template is very bloated and it is a pain to uninstall what I don't need because of the meta packages.
