I have yet to see a single distro - taking Linux for this matter - which 
loads Blackbox as it's default WindowManager. Most use either KDE or Gnome. 
Therefor, I think, only few people run BB as their "first" WM. When I used 
Linux for the first time, I didn't even know what a windowmanager was, thus 
never chose to use one ...
