The main reasons being:

1. The OSs we have so far seen express installation supported for,
either don't have live medias (windows) or have both installer and
live media so we give express install option for installer variant of
the media (Fedora).

2. To launch and create a VM as quickly as possible for live case.

Sure. It actually provides both so I think you just need to override
this boolean property from InstallerMedia:

    public virtual bool live { get { return os_media == null ||
os_media.live; } }

 in UnattendedInstaller:

    public override bool live { get { return !os_media.installer; } }
