This is still a problem in 1.6.3. I've attached three screenshots:

1. The New Document window where the option to select "Automatic Text Frames" is.
2. The File > Document Setup > General window, with the mouse cursor pointed to the location where you would expect the Automatic Text Frame option to be. There is no toggle for this anywhere in Document Setup.
3. A quick copy-paste to show what the desired situation: Add an option to toggle Automatic Text Frames on or off in Document Setup.

At the moment the only real option for users is to deleted the extra automatic text frame if you change your mind. But also the reverse is true - users who decide they want to add automatic text frames have no option to do that once the document is already created.

The desired situation would give users more flexibility and control over the document.
