AFAICT, Indiana by default comes with a PATH that has /usr/gnu/bin in front of

That is the default environment for the new user created by the OS installer.
As always, users are free to change their $PATH to any set of tools they like,
and shell scripts are encouraged to declare the paths to the tools they need
so they are not broken by users with different $PATH settings.
I'm just curious, why this cannot be an installation option?
Sth. like ability to set netservices(1M) during the S10
installation.
If you read past discussions on the installer, you'll see that one of
the goals was to keep the install process as simple as possible.
Configuration options like this belong in the firstboot configuration
setup, or in visual panels where they don't add to the complexity of the
installer.
