I think it would be hard to add some of this stuff and do it well. How do you know where to back the data up to? If you default to the data drive there's a chance you'll take the DB down because you run out of space. Some other stuff, like defaulting an integrity check, is probably a good idea since there's less configuring with that one. Making SQL easier to use is a good thing since it'll mean we have better setups out there in general but playing to the lowest common denominator can backfire if you're alienating more advanced users and making them rip out configuration after an install because it's not the way they want it. Maybe the best thing would be a single checkbox in the install asking if you want SQL to help you configure a maintenance job and then if you say yes prompting you for each of the crucial parts.
