An editor is not setting up the plugin - but he might be allowed to 
place plugins on the website. I currently have a situation, where a 
commune is allowing urban districts to build their website with the 
TYPO3 installation of the commune itself. So this is a) a multidomain 
setup and b) the districts can build up their website as they like 
(content wise) and thus I can't preconfigure all plugins as I f.e. don't 
know their future website structure and thus can't preconfigure viewPids 
etc.

So in those cases, the editors decide how the plugins are used, and for 
those scenarios the magic also has to work then. I agree that those are 
special scenarios, but they are possible and thus should also be 
supported (and it's not that hard to accomplish though)

sure, but there are situations where the site structure is up to the 
editors and even a 1337 admin can't preconfigure everything (see example 
above).
