Doesn't sound 4 to 5 years old, sounds 14 or 15 years old.

Only manually as they are distinct ISO images, each of which would have
to be obtained first then some work done to merge them. The CentOS
project could produce an all-on-one image but I don't know if it would
be popular enough for them to expend the energy -- maybe see if a SIG
can be formed for the purpose.

No reason should be necessary, but I've found it difficult to explain to
security departments, and from time to time it attracts unwanted
attention and can take a while for the incoming connections to stop (on
a very limited bandwidth and/or high RTT service this can be quite
annoying).

Typically because a network connection isn't available and/or wanted
during install. There's also the CentOS provided iPXE service if
netinstall is acceptable, or a local netinstall e.g., using cobbler.
