I agree with Wolfgang.  Experienced  users can easily disable things they don't
want.  New users have no idea what's wrong and generally assume it's broken -
someone like me with some Linux experience and/or programming experience may go
so far as to report it as a bug.  A transplant from the Windoze universe will
assume it's broken and simply move on - either to an alternative application if
available - or just return to Windoze left with a bad taste in their mouth and
it's doubtful they'll return.  Applications should do what the user expects -
it should be ready for use right out of the box.  If a user has to tweak it to
use it the first time, chances are they're going to walk away from it - this
goes for any and all applications.  Tweaking should be left for someone that
has had a chance to explore the application and get some use out of it.  You
don't get a second chance to make a first impression.  Just my opinion.

I'm not the original reporter, but that's exactly what I think should be done.

Please note that also the default addressbook (created by Akonadi FirstRun) has
to be enabled before being able to store any contact, which can be _very_
confusing for a new user IMHO.

And the same also applies to the calendars (in KOrganizer), it's not restricted
to the addressbooks.
