It is good example. See dhcp configuration in your home router - it
requires some attention. Then try some Cisco or HP router and its dhcp
configuration. This smart devices are not so smart to work for everybody
out of the box. This is also true for Linux versions of this daemon.

You can disable IPv6 if you don't need it. How can any software possibly
know your network address before you enter it during installation? How
would dhcpd daemon know IP ranges you want to lease to hosts on your
network? Read your mind?

Because I don't want that functionality. If it's what you need, please
learn how to do it and just do it. No one is preventing you from doing that.

Because different people need to integrate different things. But it's
not entirely true what you said, take a look at FreeIPA, perfect example
of integrated service.

It is... or you're doing something wrong. What kind of user accounts are
not recognized by what software?
