The main reason it's important that applications-as-design documents are enabled by default, is that they can be deployed and distributed using just CouchDB replication. When the application and the data travel together, and are fully available to the user, innovation can flourish. Standalone CouchDB applications have the potential to be game-changers on the web. If CouchDB doesn't support them by default, that potential becomes even more long-shot.
Well, I'd imagine a hypothetical CouchApp extension could be included with binary (i.e. end-user) CouchDB distributions, and even enabled by default. Or the other way around, the CouchApp project provides those binaries (including CouchDB).
