I very strongly oppose the idea.

Absolutely not.  The installer should ask as few questions as possible,
ideally none whatsoever.  *That* is a way to simplify setup.

The topics you mention have nothing to do with installation.
They are merely low-importance user configuration that can be done
at any time if desired.  But almost no user will ever have to consider
any of those; i certainly didn't, ever, and i have been using many
OpenBSD computers for almost two decades now, including with a wide
variety of GUI applications.

Yours,
  Ingo
