But if someone else did it, it would be approximately what you'd get
from installing or cloning a Centos or ubuntu VM and installing the
package. So it would have saved you a minute or two of package
install time - and might not have been on your preferred platform.

Agreed, but besides the package which your package manager will take
care of by itself, there's just some small config files involved
whether you are virtual or physical.
