i think it's one of the beautiful sides of Pd that you do *not* need an installer (even on windows!) and can run it from any media you like (even if it's a read-only CD).
I don't get your point at all. The same applies to Debian GNU/Linux and it's mostly you who put _a lot_ of work into making things go smooth on those platforms (i.e. Debian and derivatives). Why are we discussing it with regards to Windows at all? Don't Windows users deserve the same amount of convenience?
"Not necessary" is not at all equivalent to "comfortable". I definitely don't want to teach my Windows friends SysAdmin-Skills just to make the install Pd-vanilla in a way that suits them.
probably the best thing would be to have a menu-entry (maybe hidden in the "preferences"), where people could enable things like file-association and startup menus with the click of a button).
It would be possible, sure. But name me one single other software that does it like that. It seems pretty established practice to let the package maintainer care about those things.
