In all likelihood, it's rated for direct food contact on both sides, like the stickers on fresh fruit; you're meant to be able to safely eat them (although you may not want to).
I think that often, people use the word respect in a different way when it comes to magical thinking. Religious people often use the word to mean exempt from examination, or beyond reproach. While it's undoubtedly disrespectful to subject a person to an assault on their beliefs for no good reason, when those beliefs begin to play a role in decisions that will affect others, they can and should be challenged; people oughtn't be shocked to learn that if they bring their beliefs into the public discourse around a policy decision, they'll be subject to the same level of scrutiny as any other way of thinking or approaching a problem.
Also, the community around a distro makes a difference. I don't think that the EndeavourOS community has quite the lofty expectations of its users that Arch users do, so getting help might be a bit more pleasant.
I can see that too. For me, coming to GNU/Linux as a windows power user, with Gnome, I just felt so limited and unempowered. Switching to Plasma helped me feel in control of my machine.
It's easy to use, just works, and I like some of the tools it comes with like the graphics driver manager and the kernel manager. It also has a ton of packages, and gets new software quickly as it's based on Arch. I've read all the old anti-manjaro posts / essays, but for my use case, it was solid for years and none of the common complaints affected me. When I first switched to Linux full time, it's what I used and I never regretted the decision. I have since switched to EndeavourOS, just to be certain about AUR compatibility, but even so, I didn't have any issues there on Manjaro. It's still installed on my partner's computer, and Pamac let's them run updates without learning commands (which they would forget, because they're not on the computer often).
