As someone who often uses live media but who almost never uses it to
install Fedora this would be extremely annoying compared to just
booting to the live media and having some obvious way to do an
installation if that is what the user wants to do without repeatedly
bothering those who don't.

My experience may not be ordinary, but I really think the "install
from live media" use case isn't all that common compared to other uses
of live media. I could be wrong, I certainly know people who do
install from the live media as well.
