> I wouldn't prefer an automatically added and hidden primary-key-field.

The request is not asking to add hidden primary-key-field.
It is asking "add a hidden ROWID field",
which "act like a primary key field" at certain times. 
may be some thing similar to what Oracle have.

Only problem in Oracle is there is no guaranty that ROWID of a record stay
constant for the life time of the record. It changes when we/system reorg a
table.

Not much help for a new bee.
Basically most first time users dont understand the concept of primary key,
foreign key, and relational integrity.

No, I dont think you need to force user to create a primary key all the time.
Oracle, MS-SQL, MS-Access dont do that.
Still corresponding GUI tools like SQL-Developer, TOAD, SQL-Server Management
Studio, and also I think MS-Access allow user to edit the table content.
