The new option I propose would allow a user to direct Emacs, with just
one action, to use Org mode automatically every time, for those files.

The method of typing M-x org-mode by hand would require the user to do
that explicitly _each time_ each time perse visits one of these files.
It might seem at first to "do the job", but really it does a different
job.

When you suggest a different solution to some problem, please
_explain_ how your solution relates to the problem.  That will enable
people to understand and see if it is really solves the same problem.
