It's generally considered impolite, and is
contrary to convention.
Loading a library should in general not change
most user-observable behavior. It shouldn't
change faces, key bindings, actions of existing
commands, etc.
"Installing a package" does a little bit more
than loading a typical library (Lisp file).
The main thing package-installing does, which
might or might not be done by just loading a
library (e.g. `require'), is to establish
autoloading for some commands etc.

This is, in fact, the very first rule of the
Emacs Lisp Coding Conventions:
D.1 Emacs Lisp Coding Conventions
=================================
Here are conventions that you should follow when
writing Emacs Lisp code intended for widespread use:
• Simply loading a package should not change Emacs’s
editing behavior. Include a command or commands
to enable and disable the feature, or to invoke it.
This convention is mandatory for any file that
includes custom definitions. If fixing such a file
to follow this convention requires an incompatible
change, go ahead and make the incompatible change;
don’t postpone it.
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Coding-Conventions.html
These conventions apply pretty strictly to code
to be included in Emacs. And they are offered
as guidance for 3rd-party (i.e., user) code.
