You would need to modify the source code:

arduino-ide-extension/src/browser/contributions/first-startup-installer.ts

0f9f0d07b


      
          const isFirstStartup = !(await this.localStorageService.getData(
            FirstStartupInstaller.INIT_LIBS_AND_PACKAGES
          ));
          if (isFirstStartup) {
            const avrPackage = await this.boardsService.getBoardPackage({
              id: 'arduino:avr',
            });
            const builtInLibrary = (
              await this.libraryService.search({ query: Arduino_BuiltIn })
            ).find(({ name }) => name === Arduino_BuiltIn); // Filter by `name` to ensure "exact match". See: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-ide/issues/1526.
          
            let avrPackageError: Error | undefined;
            let builtInLibraryError: Error | undefined;
          
            if (avrPackage) {
              try {
                await this.boardsService.install({
                  item: avrPackage,
                  noOverwrite: true, // We don't want to automatically replace custom platforms the user might already have in place
                });

The first run "built-in" libraries installation is implemented alongside that for the "Arduino AVR Boards" installation in the code I linked above.
