I guess you are talking about bug #518395 here ...

because the @input-methods group is selected by default

IMO, this does not answer the question why _by default_

if it is difficult doing after the installation, the users of 
those locales could still select it during the installation

I prefer my system using Czech by default - for me, there's no 
problem to select the language manually at the beginning of the 
installation, and I don't want anyone not speaking Czech to be 
forced to have complete Czech support installed by default just 
for my convenience not having to select the language
