It's possible that you will create more problems than you "fix"...
How will it be known if there are "missing" packages or the user has
intentionally chosen not to install certain packages. My own systems have many
"missing" packages, I wouldn't want to be reminded of that fact at first boot
or upgrade. Also, as a openSUSE TW/Leap user I purposely remove "Discover"
(and the Software Update Manager for Plasma) from all machines I setup.
With the example of NVIDIA that could certainly create problems with a rolling
release such as Tumbleweed, where the drivers from nvidia sometimes lag behind
the kernel of TW. In that instance, if a user chose to click on the "nice
friendly button ... to fix it" and installed incompatible (for the kernel
version) drivers they would break the system; at that point either deciding
(and it would probably be the distribution that took the blame) TW was at
fault, or would seek help on our (openSUSE) forums, where it would be necessary
to walk them through booting to run level 3 and using zypper to rectify the
situation.
