I don't see the connection. Even the stable launcher starts with many
optional components. The question is not if the modules should be there but
if they should be enabled by default if they are there. I think it makes
more sense to have an option to disable them rather than needing a command
line options to enable modules you've chosen to install (or your launcher
contains). If somebody requires the modules then disabling them by mistake
can really be a substantial treat to data security and privacy.
