You must not be talking about HA Core. Because some of those add-on additions are just straight up impossible for Core, as far as my experience.
Which ones? I'm yet to see one and am eager to learn.
Node red is the most notable example.
Node Red is perfectly installable
Maybe if you’re a deep Linux head, but the rabbit hole of “first do x, which requires y, which requires z, which requires….” Seemed infinitely deep for me, who has only a passing familiarity with Linux.
Again, I’m talking about Node Red on HA CORE.

And any add-on that you actually want usable from within home assistant. I.e. tight integration like having esphome in the sidebar.
You can just edit the configuration.yaml and it adds sidebar entries.
