PopOS and Mint do the best job I have seen of being reasonably inviting to non-technically literate users. Ubuntu is pretty bad but not nearly quite like Arch.
While I’m not going to say that Arch doesn’t want those users, Arch is not really designed for those people. Arch is designed for those who want to build their OS from the ground up and pick the pieces they want. For people who fit this, they (traditionally) would not want a flashy website - they just want the information. You’ll find that most people whether they use Arch or not, if they’re familiar with what it is they would not recommend it to new users.
Due to the rolling release nature of Arch, the homepage is designed to be essentially a changelog for what you need to be aware of when updating your system. Or in other words, the “bread and the butter” is supposed to be the latest news portion right below the introduction. Such as the latest news post as of this time of writing.
