There's plenty of scenarios where this logic doesn't work:
- preinstalled or otherwise provisioned systems
- generally any situation where the person doing the installation is
not the same as the person using the system

And existing practice seems to disagree with your vision, if you look
at things like firstboot or yast.

Anyway, if your installer gets it all perfect, you can just not use
this feature, it is entirely optional.
