Yes.
If you start apps via an icon or menu, you don't see any difference at all.
You're right. But it has to be set up, and many/most of us would never use an icon or a menu to start most programs.
If you use a terminal to start them, just define an alias.
No no no. Thats even worse. :-(
Having a prefix such as nice, sudo, or rt_limits -r is not really worse than having options (IMHO).
A program should just work. If the nature of the program is that some threads need to run realtime, those threads shall also run realtime by default. What you are proposing is the complete opposite.
