It's not that much about simplicity that it's about having the computer
do all the automatic work on its own. `user-load-dir' would help with
that.
It could be that custom.el would help too, but I don't really see how.
The idea we're talking about here is to have a simpler way to enable a
piece of elisp code that you fetch from somewhere (mail attachment,
emacswiki, some blog, an automatic installer, etc). I don't see how
much simpler we can go than "save the content in a <file>.el in
~/.emacs.d/load.d, then either restart Emacs or M-x reload-user-dir".
And for automatic installers, the location is known to be `user-load-dir'.
I see people that want the feature too, some have already written some
version of it, some are sending new implementation, so I think there's a
need to cover here. That you don't share the need is fine, you just
won't use the feature, and maybe even explicitly
(setq user-load-dir nil)
