Tails provides a live ISO that guarantees that everything you do goes through Tor. It seems like a useful thing to have preconfigured. Privacy shouldn't require extensive Linux experience. And even then, I've been using Linux for decades and, whilst I could probably figure it out, I wouldn't trust myself that my setup isn't leaking packets.
Besides, all distributions do some branding (some to the point of obnoxiousness).
HiddenVM, on the other hand, I don't really understand. They make you go through tons of manual steps to achieve the aforementioned hiddenness... Might as well DIY. And their README reads like a VC pitch. "HiddenVM is an innovation in computing privacy." really? You're taking tails and telling the user to install virtualbox, veracrypt, and do the setup...
