What is this recent trend of saying "batteries included" for literally anything software related?

It feels like it tells you nothing at all about the project except that whoever is talking about it is big into buzzwords

It's a well known term for when software and features are included for most common use cases and common users. Like when a Linux distro includes office and productivity suites pre-installed, or a code editor has several plugins bundled in. Not all users want that stuff pre-installed but enough do to merit these "batteries included" downloads and the term came up as a way to let you know who the intended users of the product are.
