Arch can definitely be a "set & forget" type of distro. Just install it, use it correctly, and that's really it. No need to upgrade to new releases; just keep the system up to date....
OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed. I'm an Arch user, btw, but I consider both operating systems to be excellent choices. Everyone has their own preferences. Let people enjoy what they like and embrace their individuality. We don't all have to be alike....
