I had the "just use a separate mouse" thought, but then there're a few things that made me suggest including it. Aside from Apple's simplicity fetish, and the fact that they're making a crapload of those trackpads anyway, there's the use in a media center role. If you're on the couch, or a coffee table, the trackpad being integrated into the unit is a lot more elegant.

Plus, the trackpad has gotten a really good reception. If you leave it as optional, bargain hunters will leave it off and it'll possibly lower their opinion of the system and Apple as a company.
