You can install additional software and other various setups and make them persistent in Tails afaik, its just that I like to keep as you said as low as possible attack surface and I think that is the point of OSes such are Tails and Whonix. There is always that convinience/security trade off, anyway I think Kodachi will have its audience and I have nothing against it, its still win for FOSS community imo
