TYPO3 is an enterprise CMS. I cannot really imagine any serious hosting
without mod_rewrite. If somebody installs TYPO3, he should at least read
INSTALL.txt and that file clearly mentions mod_rewrite.

TYPO3 is not phpBB, it is not for everybody. It is for people who are
serious about their web sites. The introduction package comes with certain
goodies that people should be able to see. One of them is RealURL. Speaking
URLs is an industry standard and turning them of would have a negative
effect on user impression about TYPO3.

Probably the first page of the introduction site should mention something
about mod_rewrite.
