For example, Thermal past application and CPU cooler install is actually pretty imposing, a youtube video will help a lot but there is a real risk of bent pins and performance risk of improper installation. Will most people be fine? Yep, but is there real risk to someone who just wanted a $1,600 system? Absolutely, especially for a first time ever build.
Also, the ram you listed (F5-6000J3636F16GX2-FX5) isn't listed as compatible with the mobo you listed. In most cases will they both work? yep, will it possibly limit the ram speed? yep. But if it doesn't work correctly, diagnosing that is difficult and fixing requires returning within 30 days at most retailers. And that isn't something most people even know to check or how. https://www.gigabyte.co
And newegg was listed for most of your parts, they have a history of bad customer service and limited support for open parts, not always, but sometimes. Not having a unified system warranty can also be a big deal and requires a ton more technical knowledge to diagnose and work with various OEMs for support if needed.
And I would personally include at least $25 for a semi legit windows key. Can you run windows without a key, yes with limitations that aren't on a prebuilt. Can you risk malware to get it free? yep. Can you get a $5-10 defo improperly used windows 10 key from ebay and upgrade to 11? Yes with some risk microsoft will revoke it and with time that you wouldn't have to spend on a prebuilt. But as someone who spent a lot of time, including on very suspicious bot reddit threds, trying to find an affordable legit copy, it is a bit disingenuous to leave it out entirely.
So risk, extra technical knowledge and an extra $50 for a system that will push mildly better frams in the shorterm but with better long term potential. I know I'd pick the self build but I don't think it is for everyone, certainly not the default choice.
Please, I beg of you, post these so called better deals that are to be had. Not claiming this one is super duper, but it is pretty good for what has been available.

As to this deal.... Makes me want to cry a bit, that's how much my 3080ti cost a little over a year ago. This seems like a pretty good deal and the 3080 is no slouch, 4080 was a huge generational leap but it doesn't make this useless.

Once upon a time b&h would leave the taxes up to you to pay at the end of year... would have been a great deal back then.
