I believe that this apparent presumption that luci will be installed is 
inappropriate, especially in the context of a discussion of "low end" devices.  
Whether or not luci should be installed "automatically" should be a distinct 
issue to discuss here.

Personally, because I can ssh into a device, I do not, and would not, use luci, 
whether or not there are resource constraints.

There also seems to be a presumption that a "newbie" is, or should be, running 
luci.  I believe that that is also an inappropriate assumption.

Using some web interface is not necessarily any easier than using a command 
line interface.  Just because Apple or Microsoft teach people to use a 
Graphical User Interface does not mean that LEDE/OpenWRT should be doing the 
same thing.  "Newbie" is not the same thing as "Dumbed-Down".  Now, if there is 
no text-terminal-based configuration "helper" for LEDE/OpenWRT, again, that is 
a distinct issue to discuss here.
