This is not a good default, at least for beginners, because Org provides
a better solution out of the box. There are also better solutions
outside Org (e.g., Yasnippet).

It is only valuable for existing users, who relied on this feature, and
don't want to switch. It's perfectly understandable, but it is also fair
to assume they can add (require 'org-module) to their own configuration.
_Removing_ the module, OTOH, is subtle.

By the way, this does not belong to the same category as other
defcustoms discussed. This is only tangential to "how does Org should
look and feel by default". It relates to: should Org provide multiple
snippet extensions, knowing this is not a central feature, and Org is
often seen as bloated by Emacs devs? I don't think so, no matter how
useful this feature can be for some users.

Regards,
