I don’t think anybody wants to take responsibility for actually endorsing the use of AUR with their distro. That’s why helpers are not installed by default on Arch, that’s why support is disabled by default on Manjaro even though the pamac helper itself is installed, and so on.
AUR is a wildcard. It’s anybody’s guess whether packages will work at any given time and whether they’ll work after your next system upgrade, and if course they’re have been all kinds of issues, overlapping package names being just one example.
I don’t think “AUR compatibility” is something that any Arch-based distro aims for, certainly not one of the primary goals anyway.
Thank you.
