No. Regular payment transactions with change also have two.

I would say better to pay more attention to inputs and input aggregation and to avoid it if possible.
All monero transactions now have two outputs at least, even sweep txs.
It is quite opinionated though.
Oh, I see also by their screenshots, that Bluefin also spoils the UX of GNOME with custom extensions. So I will consider it the Manjaro (or Mint) of immutable distros.
Silverblue is an official Fedora edition, almost exact Fedora Workstation, but immutable. I use it. universal blue is a third-party project and their images are bloated with additional “features”: packages, drivers, etc. Bluefin contains Homebrew for example. It’s how they describe it, but I haven’t tried it to say more precise.
When an Arch user tries NixOS.

Bad to whom?
At least it is not a cheap copy of Windows.
But do not give network access to this spyware.
And for humans too. Copyright is a fraud and always has been.
Tor Browser does, but differently. It attempts to behave in the same way an all platforms, ignores installed libs/fonts/etc, uses letterboxing against resolution fingerprinting.

It is comparatively to Debian/Ubuntu derivatives. Even Arch and NixOS probably have more users now. Lately I see some popularity of uBlue derivatives among new users, but I don’t know how many people use it, and where the popularity comes from.
Because Mint is popular among the crowd, and such challenges are also driven by the crowd. Better to see it as some social or meme dynamics, than to explain it with logical reasons. I also see more new users who use arch, because of the “I use arch BTW” meme.
As a Fedora Silverblue user I find it hard to recommend it to new users. It’s not an issue with Fedora, but with the state of Linux desktop in general. At least with Mint/Ubuntu people can rely on social media and the community if they have problems. And Fedora is a more niche thing, and doesn’t have a big crowd.
Moreover, I chose Fedora because of my experience, which allows me to have opinion what is better. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to explain the years of the Linux desktop drama to new users, when they are just doing the first steps or trying to feed their curiosity.
Give attention to Qubes OS also, It’s the easiest way for separating apps for different tasks, using them with different proxies (VPNs, Tor) or profiles at the same tame.
I’m not sure if your issues are related to the distro(s) used and not to the hardware. But if you wish immutable distros…
You can try to use Ubuntu, but installing all the apps as snaps (and/or flatpaks). That will give you immutable-like experience on a regular Ubuntu installation. Otherwise, I’d recommend to try Fedora Silverblue and openSUSE Aeon.
But politicians exist to be sold.
Tor Browser is the best way.
I wouldn’t assume the right strategy for inputs. To an outsider they are all indistinguishable, but the sender, an exchange for example, can mark operations (withdrawals) done with the same account and store that information. Every input has 16 potential members selected from the blockchain. But if tx has many inputs, and each input has among the ring one previously marked input associated with the same exchange account, it will be likely that tx was created by the person with that exchange account. If the person later will try to deposit this coins to another account of the exchange, probably exchange could link two account, at least as potentially linked. So input aggregation can give additional hints for EABE attack.
Probably, it is better to aggregate inputs earlier, before churning, and don’t mix churned coins with unchurned. But Monero need more general improvements as FCMP/FCMP++.
