Requiring that the wiki install it seems like a trivial thing. That can't be the real reason.
I presume that when you say it is unknown whether the wiki has it installed, the real issue is that it is unknown whether the wiki has it enabled at this time.
I also proposed that we say "just install it". There is already a default "blank" configuration (e.g. $wgEventLoggingFile = false is already the default).
We just need to make sure it behaves correctly as a no-op logger out of the box.
The only down side is you have to do an extra git clone, which I don't think is a big deal.
