Maybe it's expected because 95% of the world's desktop/server OS's
have this option.
Erm. Really? Are you sure we're not talking at cross-purposes here? I'm
not sure I recall seeing any installer other than Mandriva's which
offers a special version of its partitioning interface where you cannot
create or remove partitions, only select mount points for existing
partitions. That is what the OP is describing.
For those unfamiliar, Mageia as a fork of Mandriva retained the same
installation cmdline option "readonly=1". Using it presents the following
partitioning windows during installation, quite logically, prior to software
selection:

After software is selected and installed is presented the following screen,
where installation process summary and (re)configuration options can be seen:
