And why do you care about .emacs.d that much ?
You can setup emacs using the site-lisp directory if you don't want to
write to your host in ~/.emacs.d.

I don't think so.  I have already been there in the past and for longer you
seem to imagine.
My point is that you can configure everything from within emacs without
requiring an external installer
to fiddle with your host.
