Or the target is someone teaching a class of newbies how to start with Arduino. Same device, different audience, different needs.

It still doesn't make any sense. Who that's not intimidated with soldering irons and wiring circuits up that can literally burst into flames if you do it wrong, is going to say, "Heavens to Betsy! I have to click an installer! My word, I'm comin' down with the vapors!"?

Strawman. I can teach an Arduino class with no soldering at all.
