First of all, you don't need it if your application is on the same machine as the SQL server. Second of all, if you don't know what your doing, you don't want your SQL server open to the world. Third, its not that hard to turn on once you know where to look. So its secure by default. Don't get me wrong, I'd be all for a prompt during the install to turn on TCP access and warn you of the risks. I also realize that most real world usages of SQL server require TCP access. However, especially for the developer and express editions, a few hoops to make it harder to hang yourself is a good thing.
