Everything coming with as default as possible settings isn't necessarily a good thing and can add an extra level of maintenance one has to do which adds to that perpetual beta feeling. Arch Plasma and Manjaro Plasma is a fine example of that.
The installation process, while very well documented, isn't necessarily new user friendly. If one thinks it's hard or has a hard time doing it, they're probably going to think it's crap. Some just want to "Click, click, click, click, porn. It's that easy, man," and not have to deal with a learning curve.
It still has a bit of a bad reputation from its earlier dayswhen they didn't have everything sorted out (like no testing or core/community, etc).
The forums can be "a little" harsh.
I'm sure there are other things, but that's what comes to my mind as a previous Arch and current Manjaro user.
EDIT: After posting I'd like to point out my bias with Debian from my bad reputation from back in the day comment. Most people will reference a bad historical experience that'll likely cause a negative bias in regards to anything. Psychology's fun.
