I did a fresh install of 15.5 (through recovery mode), and it didn't seem to install Pages, Keynote, or Numbers. Is that standard, or is it a sign that something went wrong with the install process? (I know it's easy to install them through the App Store, just wondering if this is normal, since Macs all come with those preinstalled.)

Original Title: Fresh install of 15.5 – no Pages, Keynote, etc.?
Brand New Apple Computers do come preinstalled with Pages, Keynote, Number, GarageBand and iMove
Though as was alluded to earlier
If you wiped the drive and reinstalled from Recovery Mode
The Applications, outlined earlier, would not Automatically reappear as installed
Easy enough to cross check by opening the Apple Apps Store >> Your Account at bottom Left
Something like this may appear
If it should same " Open " that would mean they are currently installed
If it should say " Get " or words to that effect, it would mean you have to redownload them
::SMH:: from the link you just posted…
Just to add, the screen shot you posted is a list of available apps, not included apps.
Not to state the obvious but if the apps in question were included with macOS, there would be no need to reinstall them when doing a fresh install.
