When carb exemption comes into play, they don't want you mucking around with the tune. Different companies/kits will have different motivations/target buyers. The easiest way is to flash a tune and go. Others who are more experienced may just make a tune from scratch off the stock tune.

Easiest as possible for most people means flashing a tune and driving the car, while being carb exempt for any emissions purposes
