They can buy a computer with preinstalled and preconfigured Software.
As I understand things, the argument being presented is that "we shouldn't make
it artificially easy to install the OS without having to learn anything first,
because that makes it seem like there won't be any pitfalls or any need to learn
anything when using the installed system either, and that's just not true".
If the user buys a computer with the OS preinstalled and the software
preconfigured, that bypasses the OS install even more than making it
artificially easy to install would, and leaves them just as open to potential
later pitfalls. As such, this particular comment was intended for that branch of
the argument, not just for the install process in particular.
