The require will fail if executed before calling package-initialize.

Doesn't seem significantly simpler than adding (package-initialize) in
the ~/.emacs file. Also the "lazy calling" of that function makes it
harder to figure out what's going on.
Also, the canonical way to handle minor modes is not to have them
use :require but to mark them as autoload. In this case, Custom might
not even know that this var is a minor-mode until after
package-initialize is called, so if package-initialize is not called
early, then Custom may simply "do the wrong thing", oblivious to the
fact that it should have called a minor mode function instead of just
setting the variable.
