This seems like a sane default to me, accommodating both end users that don't care about GRUB or that don't dual boot, and 'power' users that can learn to hold down a key.

For the use cases where it doesn't work, what about dropping a bootloader config spoke into anaconda, or revealing the appropriate features in kickstart options? Perhaps probing to test for dual boot to determine if a brief timeout should be the default?
