it has everything to do with the majority. you can't please everyone,
so you do what works for most people. trying to please everyone is
never going to work.

if you keep the installer around, some people will complain that it's
cluttering their hard drive, and in the case of ssd, space is at a
premium. if it's moved to the trash, some will complain about that too,
especially the ones who never empty their trash. 

so they chose what works for most users.
