You mean setting up MELPA access? Users do that anyway, because many great packages are only available there, so that hoop has to be jumped regardless.

Sure. But the question was about those people who don't do that.
And in the latter case others can still enjoy the solution easily via MELPA. Those users who don't set up MELPA are a minority.
So Emacs/ELPA should provide a good use case which MELPA can't provide. The only thing I know is if there is no internet connection then packages are available locally, but I don't know how typical that is.
