My suggestion acknowledges the existing behaviour and merely
systematizes it.
My suggestion is a practical suggestion that need to be tested on the
field and dismissed with a theoretical object.
Many businesses have
1. Small-businesses-suite
2. Pre-configured, Plug-and-play appliances
They do make money (In GNU parlance, happy FLOSS users).

That's precisely the point. You don't have to.
Installing packages from GNU ELPA is optional. Most intermediate to

But new users will.
