There is already the "choose your colour" thing on the first boot, without any explanation WTF that is for. Choosing the user name would make more sense, IMHO.
Yes, very easily doable.
Actually the username "nemo" group "nemo" (10000:10000) is arbitrary and could be changed to anything desired even now without any adverse effects. It would indeed be nice to set up the "main" user to whatever desired in the startup wizard.

All in all it is not that large a task to implement all these things; the biggest thing is to hack the GUI so that when the wayland backend starts it does not autolaunch lipstick with nemo credentials; instead it should launch up user login selector.
It needs just some heavy-handed systemd tweaking to do, plus pruning the system services dependant on "nemo" login for startup.
