Are you sure you're not confusing arch with Gentoo? I use arch since 2011 and never had to compile anything by myself unless I wanted to use a program that's not in the repositories.

And since 7/8 years it works for me out of the box almost all the time.

Build as in set up all the systems and configs, not as in compile. Many nice-to-have features just aren't there if you don't configure them yourself.
