I don't see that attitude in what you are reading.

Any OS which the user has to install themselves has to assume a certain amount of knowledge in the user. It's completely fair to say "And there's an even easier way if you prefer" as well.

Your version, "and there's an even easier way...", does sound nicer than, "If even this is too much effort, ..."

There's a difference in tone there.

Well, perhaps, but it feels incredibly minor to me. Even if true, I don't think the tone represents the intention.
