Workarounds to what?

Windows, just like any other operating system, has its set of contrivances for different functions (in this case automated installation). Having used RedHat Kickstart I don't see it as hugely different.

In case of supply chain attacks? Running a minimal OS that then runs everything else in VMs seems an effective way to minimise damage.
