I fail to see how (again, I'm talking about people new to computers, not people already used to Windows).

You have office, a browser, a mail program, music player, etc. preinstalled, automatic updates, and an app store (usually named "software") with a search function and a friendly "install" button to look for more software.
Printers are installed automatically when you're in the same network or connect them via USB.
If you plug in your phone or an USB stick, it shows up in the file manager.
