Wouldn't it be even better if the printer/soundcard/etc. just works,
without any configuration?

I know that it's sometimes not possible, and we have to handle this
case. But keep in mind that for some people (and hopefully, with the
good hardware support that we have, for most people), it's the case and
it just works. Should we "annoy" these people with extra steps?

I think the sum total annoyance of 85% of users having to click "next", is
dwarfed by the annoyance of 15% of users with non-working hardware and no
clue what to do or what went wrong, because important information is hidden
from them.

But it's not hidden, just delayed. That's the point: keeping the current
features, but not forcing everybody to have to go through them when it
already works.
