Have you wondered what the "Recommended Software" is in "RPi OS with desktop and recommended software"? I made a quick comparison of the .info files to find the differences!
The OS images are generated using pi-gen. https://github.com/RPi-Distro/pi-gen/blob/master/stage5/00-install-extras/00-packages + Libreoffice is the list of additional packages in the recommended software image.All the other packages get pulled in as a dependency.
