To be honest: I don't know if that damn good teacher giving 2-3 lessons 
everyday on daily changing projectors is that common in reality either.
I guess if the dialog is done right, the 25 damn good teachers worldwide 
shouldn't need more than 10 seconds for their setup (and after all, it only 
needs to be done once per projector, not once per lesson).
The other x million people might prefer an easier setup without having to 
create profiles and think about what exactly their special profile from 2 
years ago is going to do with the monitors installed.

Well, if an unknown projector is connected, you'll end up with a 'choose 
profile' dialog. If it is known, you'll end up with the preferred setup.
The same would be true without profiles, only you wouldn't have to choose a 
profile but choose settings.
I don't have any figures on how often what is done with monitors, but I think 
the additional overhead of profiles won't pay out very often.
