useability issue : primary links

Can someone explain to me why it is so hard to enable
primary links.

In my eyes this is one of the most common things a person
does when  
they first
set up their site.

The confusion between just enabling primary links, or
enabling the  
primary links block
and putting it in the header (which completely breaks if the
theme ,  
like most themes, wasn't built for it).

Also. the 'wrong' way of enabling primary links is the first
way you  
see to do it.

I'm not even sure I agree with them being disabled by
default to  
begin with. When they
are enabled, at least they have a link stating 'add primary
links here'

I'm confused, isn't this theme setting enabled by default?
An 'edit 
primary links' link shows (now only if you have access to
it) on fresh 
sites last I checked.

Which is the 'right' way?
