But this would be a good thing, if the administrator could deploy
network-configurations and say: "autoconnect to these networks, if
available".

We deploy several networks preconfigured and that would be very useful.
Is there a deeper design-decision behind not doing it?

It is not used as an safety-mechanism, but as an convenience mechanism,
that the user does not has to decide or manually interact with the
network configuration.
