Thats just not true as a general statement; every sysadmin I know adjusts things post-install as no installer can ever get it right out of the box. The audience of most concern here is the non-sysadmin folk who may be setting up Ubuntu servers. They will most likely not attempt to adjust the security. However, if the default installer forces too much security, this same audience may become lost when their system does not behave in the manner they expect (I am reminded years ago the first time I encountered an SELinux enabled system...).
