I think creating a separate frame is only appropriate when the user
explicitly customized the option pop-up-frames.  And indeed currently
this already works: when pop-up-frames is non-nil, the startup screen is
displayed in the separate frame due to using the function `display-buffer'.

However, when pop-up-frames is non-nil, it would be very annoying to
insist on creating a separate frame.  For instance, I use the full-screen
single frame configuration which doesn't work with a separate startup frame.
