Mod developers have been complaining about "click to install" for as long as I've been here. And the staff has been refusing to listen for just as long. Even developers who become staff stop listening on this subject, so clearly the entrenched staff most feel strongly enough about it that you need to agree to survive with them. Or, perhaps they just discuss things in private and some staff has to bite their tongue in public and defend the decisions, even if they don't agree. Providing a unified front is good I guess.
My point, this is a hot topic, and change on it will someday happen. Another hot topic used to be titles, and the staff was just as stick in the mud about changing that. In the end they did though, and now we're all just 'coder' and/or 'designer'.
They will see the light on this, eventually. Probably when some of the old staff retires.
