Indeed, and lots of people do so already, but there are more people that don't want to go through the trouble of trying to determine the tilesizes, splitting a country dump, rendering them with all the options...

If you download the tiles then you don't have to do all those things. You cannot even do them. The only thing once downloaded is to put all tiles in one file. Sendmap20.exe will do in a glance. Mkgmap would be overkill for such a simple task.

Certainly, but that only works for Windows and if Germany or the Netherlands are of your interest then we're talking about clicking and downloading ~80-140 individual tiles.

...and installing them in MapSource/BaseCamp/etc..

That is a different story. I wonder how many people want that? Do you have statistics of your service downloads?

A quick scan on this months downloads:

mapsource =2210
gmapsupp = 1757
roadtrip = 534
linux tiles.zip = 1226

But I notice that individual tiles also get downloaded a lot: 6237x in total.

The number of downloads would be higher, ofcourse, if the service would be able to process requests faster... Caching seems to be working fine as e.g. one gmapsupp.img is downloaded 110x.
