AUCTeX is supposed to be usable as a system default.  It is not
delivered as Emacs' built-in TeX mode, but using ELPA for installing it
will enable it if I remember correctly, and its pre-ELPA mode for
installation is also supposed to be useable in that manner.

If you use ELPA for installing it, it is enabled by default.  If we
would aim for AUCTeX only being used as a consequence of deliberate user
action rather than system administration activity, the defaults would
likely be different.
