This has been the reason this hasn't been changed the last few times
someone proposed to change it.
I don't know how many folks do installs with no user config, but it's
definitely possible right now and that could mean they wouldn't be
able to reach their instance. We could of course change that so
creating a new user is forced, but I'm really not sure it's that much
advantage.
My machines get joined to an IPA domain as soon as they are finished
installing, I do *not* want a local user, it would be a liability.

This seems a more reasonable place to look to change this, I agree.
