DreamHost disables urlfopen by default. (Of course, they also give shell access: It's a weird world.)
Compiling PHP is something that's probably beyond the ken of the people for whom a GUI would be most beneficial.

My host disables urlfopen by default but they advised me to just make a php.ini and allow it, which works. Do many hosts not allow that?

I think one of the main advantages of such an extension manager is for people on shared hosts/non-techies etc who haven't got a clue what 'the shell' is. IMO, this needs to be web-based.
They should do it on local, then upload. A GUI would be beneficial for
them.
Their host probably won't allow their script to remotely fetch the checking page, getting errors: "It doesn't work", when it really means: "my host is using safe-mode / disabling url-fopen".
