Well, you would only have to install Forge with the Forge Installer, and then drop the Mods into the Mods Folder. That is all.
Why should someone do that when there's FTB? It's not like IC² has soo many fans that everyone would run the doors in to play IC² centric mod packs.
Anyone who is too lazy to download and drag-and-drop mods into a folder is probably not going to enjoy IC2.

For some reason, this is a surprisingly difficult task for some people. How they manage to use a computer in the first place is beyond me...

It is not that the people are lazy. It is both because:
1. Moving files every release becomes kinda monotonous
2. When the user installs tons of mods, it is difficult to keep up with them all.
Having a launcher of sorts fixes both of these issues, because the user no longer has to download/move tons of stuff to update their mods, and the launcher would automatically notify the user if there is a conflict (incompatibility) between mods, possibly even before they chose to add those mods to their pack.
FTB can not do this, nor does it have a "list" of mods that can be chosen from when building a pack. Creating a better launcher, would be better.
Computer basic UI is idiot proof. You can always see some "pearls" of intelligence over the popular social websites, including some that would make Greg near kill himself (extremely stupid grammar errors)
The big problem would be that hardly 2 people have the same mod-set. So either everyone would be pissed because their personal must-have mod is not included or the launcher really does just copy the IC2 mod file to the correct directory, which would be such a minor task, that writing a launcher for that would be total overkill.
I don't think this is reasonable with only a hand-full of people (compared to everyone who plays MC) actually playing IC2.
You can zip and share config. files with no legal issues what-so-ever. You can have people simply copy the config settings this way for server owners, and if they are listing mod downloads like they should, it should not be a difficult task to drag and drop an additional folder of .txt files into their Minecraft folder...
Of course, though, you can't exactly control the laziness of others...
I'm using FTB, and I have enough crashes and misshapen just trying to use regular minecraft and installing the 64 bit java on my 64 bit system, and I'm not sure I'm that much of a retard to be inconsiderable as an IC2 user.
On a general note, the folders and files madness is something that doesn't require that much brainpower as knowing where things are and what do they do- something anyone not familiar with the working of the computer system i.e. anyone who's like me and who's not a programmer, become immediately disoriented.

Well, i'm not that great about English, so i"ll edit it. The lowercase i is because of the l-I, which always bugs me.
I could write a batch or VBS code to do it, although I doubt people would Trust it because you can do some really fun stuff to fuck with people using both of those. Plus, I am a lazy bastard so meh
A. Trust it because you can do some really fun stuff to fuck with people using both of those
Can't see anyone not checking what the dodge code you'd sent them before running it

Here you got your launcher.
