Sure, in your contrived example the number of things to configure is 
equal. I can contrive equally effective examples of stuff that doesn't 
require the people doing the configuration to touch the router.

You still haven't answered the question, "Why should RA be _required_ in 
IPv6 when DHCP is perfectly capable of doing everything that RA can do 
and more?"
