Should this bug be marked as duplicate of bug #32150?

I think we need to define some terminology here. Most importantly, what is a
"bundled extension"? It can mean several things:

1) A piece of code that is included in the OOo and thus also LibreOffice source
code repository. It is an OOo/LO "extensions" in the technical sense, but
license- and authorship-wise it is just part of OOo/LO. (The Presenter Console,
also known as Presenter Screen, would be in this category, I think? Or is the
code for it in the OOo/LO repository (in sdext/source/presenter) just a
snapshot of a true "upstream" location?)

2) A piece of code that originates from another software repository and which
might have different licensing that the LGPL of the bulk of OOo/LO. Technically
an extension, but included in the LibreOffice installer on Windows. Optional in
a custom installation's "feature tree" dialog (but selected by default).

3) as 2), but not mentioned in the custom installation dialog, always
installed.

4) Any of the above, the main point being visibility in the Extension Manager
dialog, and having the padlock icon there and thus not removable using that
dialog.

Now, when the summary of this bug report asks for no bundled extensions, what
does it actually mean?
