This is what it looks like. Every operating system except ubuntu lets
you change the position of the launcher, dock or task bar. This is a
very basic option. There is no good reason to take this decision away
from users. Originally you said that it was to keep the launcher near
the ubuntu button. Now the button is on the launcher, and you still
refuse to budge an inch.

No. Most options aren't even accessible without installing CCSM. The
sort of user who finds options 'burdensome' need not install CCSM -
probably doesn't even know about it! How will adding one more very
standard and reasonable option to the CCSM unity plugin burden anyone?
