You can replace that with just

    (require 'package)

Hmm... maybe it should.  Tho

    (fboundp 'use-package)

might do the trick as well.

BTW what you do within the "..." tho (I can guess that there's
(package-install 'use-package) in there, but I wonder if there's much
more setup code in there).

> Is there a reason why it is not an autoload?

No strong one, no.  It's basically that the need hadn't come up.
