Yes, the value here is in 'where I've set up ImageMagick'.
If I have a task that could be made easier by having ImageMagick, but I don't have it on any machine I have easy access to, then I have to deal with the overhead of getting the package, installing the package, configuring the package, and possibly removing the package when I'm done.
Even though I know how to do all things, it would take me some time to get it all done, and then I'd have to waste brainpower in those things, and not the real problem I'm trying to solve.
A lot of that is solved by the "better" distributions, e.g. Debian has nearly everything under the sun.
But not everything. That's where the opportunity might be.
I probably wouldn't pay a dollar a month just for ImageMagick, but I might pay a few for shell access to a machine that has all of the new and shiny things available, things too new to get into the main repositories, and keeps them up-to-date and keeps adding new stuff, so I don't have to handle the sysadmin tasks for yet-another-box.
