I don't understand the point, goal, purpose of having lets say 
libreoffice run on Debian, firefox on *buntu etc...

What does this get you???? I am just clearly missing the forest for the

Am curious as to whats the end goal and what this achieves v. using one

Interested to understand the goal... Thanks..
