Our "ultimate goal" IMHO ought to be to have a product that works well for the
full spectrum of users. This includes those that want a "just enough" install
as well as those that want a "gimme much" install and everyone in between.
I really don't see what's so controversial about having a standard installer
that is fairly lean, with a "really bare" option for those that want it as
well as "more, more" option(s) for the others.
But if you're unwilling to provide all three of those capabilities (bare, lean
standard, more-more), then you're saying there's one or more classes of users
that you don't want to serve. I doubt that's the case. But why fight against
any of the above three options when there are very valid use cases and lots of
customers for each?
