The answer depends on another question: how do you intend the users
would enable this feature? When to enable it in all minibuffers
(like e.g. minibuffer-depth-indicate-mode does) the users will add
to their init files:
(add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook #'minibuffer-lazy-highlight-setup)
Then removing the user's customization would not be a nice thing to do.
OTOH, minibuffer-with-setup-hook will remove only own hook, not the user's one.
So to allow enabling this feature selectively, minibuffer-with-setup-hook
is not quite awkward.

It's still possible to add this feature to isearch-edit-string,
when the change would not be too enormous. I recall squeezing
it into a small patch, but unfortunately it requires changes
in keymap priorities.

Are you sure these features can't be combined? One feature basically
runs isearch-search-and-update in the buffer from the minibuffer,
and this feature runs isearch-lazy-highlight-new-loop.

Maybe a new option would make sense for the same reason why there is
the option isearch-lazy-count?
