It wouldn't make sense for a distributions that also aims for AVG Joe users to ask someone "Would you like for Fedora to modify MBR?". Most people I know and have convinced to use Linux would go "WTF is a MBR?". What if someone chooses no? Fedora support (or any other distro in that matter) would be spammed with "HALP! My system isn't booting".
If there's an expert mode for the installer, it would make sense to add it there, because someone who's using expert mode knows what he's doing.
And Debian only supports it in expert mode as far as I know, mainly because of the same reason or because most users who install Debian know what they are doing.
