No problem. It's easy to forget that "installation" - the actual process of getting data onto the hard drive - isn't the only issue here, but also "location location location", the hundreds of uninstall files, how to deal with legacy content, actual removal, finding product... things that become readily apparent when installing a whole bunch of stuff.
Reduced clicks and fewer pages are an obvious, but that're not the whole package. If the CMS weren't a service but operated as part of each program, or relied on a standard service (like a cut-down Microsoft SQL) AND if all the major players (SM, DAZ, Rendo, RDNA) could AGREE on using that standard AND update old products... that could be amazing.
The only positive other idea that comes to mind would have people running and screming for their blog sites to scream "conspiracy" at. Probably me, too! So I'll let that one lie, I think ;)
