I agree, WordPress is not the best example now that it has the "plugin installer" in the administration control panel. I will probably change the app used in the video tour.
However, WordPress is the exception, not the rule when it comes to automated plugin installation. Even for apps like phpbb3, which have a mod called "automod" which installs mods automatically, the user still has to download the mod, and then upload it to their server, unzip it, put it in the right directory etc... Flooha eliminates all of that busy work.
The real exception is apps like MediaWiki (which runs Wikipedia) and osCommerce. The add-ons (extensions, contributions, etc...) for those apps often modify core code files and it is not as simple as uploading and unzipping. It can be extremely painful to install the easiest add-on for some users who aren't extremely comfortable working with source code.
Thanks for the tips!
