It just seems like going from the stock BA to rolling your own custom BA just 
to either get rid of the UI or add a single text box, radio button, or 
window/step seems extremely costly in time and effort for what seems like a 
minor modification.

  I believe the mantra is don't use installer UI's, use a BA UI.  As such, if 
you need a custom UI then generate a BA to give the look and feel that you 
want.  The reasoning behind having a BA UI is so you can have a single unified 
installation experience. Having a chain of 5 MSI's all exposing their own UI's 
would result in a choppy and subpar user experience.

  That being said, WiX is open source, so anyone is free to contribute 
enhancements.

There seems to be a lot of demand for more control over installer and 
bootstrapper UIs. Just out of curiosity, is this being worked on for future WiX 
releases?

Yes. You'd need to create a custom BA.
