Hi well, with installing there is another point: because things like partitioning came up... most first time linux installs are dual boot, witch makes it more complicated...wereas with a stand alone install things like automatic partioning are/would be possible and setting up bootloaders and the like has become quite easy (d-i most of the time does it correctly be itself (the last time i had problems was due to a setup with serial console and lvm and linux sw raid which is a quite unlikely setup for a causual pc users...)
