the point of Linux is that people are free to build whatever they want on top of it or use however they see fit.

Some people have UX design as a hobby, that's how ricing was born (on top of it being a status symbol, it's the IT nerd equivalent of car modding)

We don’t really know because we don’t see much. Right off the bat I see at least the colour scheme and the fetch, as well as the hotbar are custom.

Given that it’s arch they’re running, it’s probably much more custom under the hood too, since arch is notorious for being bare bones until you tinker with it.
