He isn't assuming that at all, since he isn't talking about install
(other than mentioning that there it must be available) but the login
screen.

As for b), that one account doesn't show the icon doesn't mean another
account can't show it either.

That's a special case (vs. personal computers) and the person doing
the installation should know how to set up the system to make it
accessible.
