Just search forums for "there was no package for Leap so I ...". ... Besides, to use zypper to search for packages one has to install openSUSE first. But people quite often look at whether distribution provides what they need before making a decision. If they cannot find packages, they will not install this distribution, it is as simple as that.
You can also use yast-packager as an alternative (but again works only for packages in enabled repos). Which was my guess for new openSUSE user looking for package which is availble in distro.
Doesn't "use yast-packager" contradict what Andrei Borzenkov wrote that may use 's.o.o' to decide if they may ever install openSUSE?
