Comment:

 Hello @loopy78 and very welcome to Trac.

 Thank you for your suggestion!

 IMHO: I don't like so much the idea to put more options onto the install
 screens. We have a Welcome banner in the admin control panel that already
 and this has a link to turn comments on or off.

 Having comments off by default would be better than further bloating the
 install page, but comments is a key feature of WordPress. Akismet is
 (still) bundled with an offer to prevent spam, and so is tens or hundreds
 of other plugins.

 Keep in mind that WordPress is very often instlled by third party script,
 like Softaculous, and core has limited influence over these. The Welcome
 banner, however, is where core can design the onboarding experience.
