Making users go through configuration steps because providing working defaults is "limiting user freedom" is a rather particular idea of freedom.

Maybe more accurately: Configuring yourself is freedom (cause you do it), not needing to configure is limiting freedom (since someone else suggested the default which is not seen as legit). Is there something interesting in this or should it be filed at "heroic individualism mapped to a glittering generality?"
