AFAIU, there were several voices that preferred the latter, with the rationale that a built-in package is always "installed", so "installing" it makes little or no sense.
Note that this notion would probably go better together with changing package-install's behavior to never update, for any packages that are already installed. That would make it consistent, but it's also a breaking change.
So I really just mentioned it as a weak justification for not fixing package-install just now (so we'd make the decision about it later). Where the main cause for (not) doing that was your reticence for changing it this late in the cycle.
