What is right for Raspberry Pi might not be right for a desktop might not be right for a server.
Typically things are geared for desktop users who have not much idea what they are doing and everybody else is expected to understand and configure to their needs.
Nowadays distributions started preparing separate profiles (workstation, desktop, embedded, etc.) that save a little bit of work.
noatime is a default for most distributions but a person that does install on Raspberry Pi might be configuring filesystem manually and not be aware to put it there.
Swap is very tempting to have on the Pi but is going to kill the card in a hurry.
