Lets say Adobe wanted to make a really, really simple-to-use installer
for their reader

ROFL

What you've described is the windows way and it's nothing but simple. In fact it's so convoluted no one will ever read all the screens you've described (it's nothing but a click ok pipeline - if you really think users process them just add one with the proceed button moved and we'll have massive user consternation)

The really, really simple-to-use installer is a web page that uses your browser id to suggest the right repo file to dump into /etc/yum.repos.d with a short example like :

su
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe.repo url
yum install acrobat-reader
exit

(you can add a .repo gui handler if you like but it'll need to be as simple as these four lines)
