You've identified a major issue for me. If my goal is to make happy with the usability, I can't seem to escape having a supporting module. I really appreciate the razor you've applied to this problem! I'm with you on this.
An added benefit of the profile being active after install (based on my D5 experience here) is the ability to have a wizard.
D5 install profiles can have one screen to display after the database configuration, Drupal 6 profiles can have their own "state machine" built into the installer after the "Configure site" screen and the "Finished" screen (also the Configure screen is form_alter-able). So any kind of install wizard is possible, without having a module. We are trying to fix bugs to make this kind of feature play nice with localization even here: http://drupal.org/node/190283 Gabor
