Not really and you're being a little dramatic, I think. If we

install it but have its default state be 'on' then they can just do:
yum install yum-presto
and then they're done.
On the other hand someone who has good bandwidth can easily also do:
yum remove yum-presto
and it is off.
As I said when asked the last time - I don't have a preference if it is
installed and on or not installed. I don't consider the single command a
significant barrier, either way.
I don't think it is the end of the world, either way.
The inconvenience for a high-bandwidth user of having to wait a little
longer for the update to complete is minor compared to someone on dialup
having to spend hours updating (or days, if they've just installed and
are unaware of yum-presto), or someone with bandwidth caps having to pay
for the download. Besides, the high-bandwidth users can keep themselves
busy using the connection for something else while the update finishes.
And even they might want to help reduce the load on the mirrors.
