It's because sidebars take up variable width, so you can no longer
arrange the window to show the icons or your background perfectly. At
least I think that how it worked the last time I looked.
This would be fixed if the sidebar was more like a drawer where having
it displayed doesn't decrease window width.

Installers are a bad heritage from earlier systems which didn't have
disk images, bundles and caching launch services!
Preferably you should ship your application on a disk image and allow
the user to drag the application to where ever he wants it (including
the trashcan if he no longer wishes to use it).
On the subject of disk images, I see close to all of them ship with
the sidebar disabled, and although this is probably more pretty, it's
much less useful, because the sidebar contains (amongst others) my
Applications folder. So either I need to enable the sidebar, or I
need to open another Finder window showing the contents of my
Applications folder, before I can actually drag the application to my
Applications folder.
Is there any other reason than the purely cosmetic one to not ship
disk images with the sidebar enabled?
