put the DVD ISO size over some predefined size limit? Does creating a
DVD hybrid add so much to the build process that it cannot be done?
What is the reasoning behind not providing a DVD ISO that can be
written to USB without extra steps on the user side?

You can install syslinux and call isohybrid *.iso - then you can boot them
from usb too. Kiwi has no support to generate hybrid install media yet ;(
