And what prevents from installing everything, even when you use one to three
languages?
We have continuing problems with Linux distro packages, where they offer
"modularity", which results in users' confusion, when they expect something to
work, but it doesn't, because some package was missing. Going into the same
rabbit-hole on Windows would be an insanity; we already removed some options
from the installer just because of that [1].

Indeed, one may argue that the proposal here doesn't go as far; but I think
that even today's installer is just too complex, and should be simplified to
install *everything* without options. Exceptions might *possibly* be considered
only for components that might create security issues, like ActiveX component.
