Add Frames for images and text like in InDesign
In InDesign it's possible to add frames for text and imagery, and although Illustrator isn't necessarily the layout application — it would be great to get this feature on it too.

David, I guess you mean the InDesign’s 'every image is paced within a frame paradigm', that makes total sense for publishing purposes, but can hardly be a universal in a more general app as Illustrator, which is not about layouts all the time?
Clicking Mask button once per image for me seems like not a too large price... It also works for several selected images at once.
What I do miss though and wish to have in Illustrator, is InDesign’s fitting options: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/40607677-image-fitting-options-like-indesign-sketch-and-fi — a request that has amazingly low vote count. -

Masking like InDesign. It's valuable since I don't have to choose to Mask the image, it automatically places it in a mask like InDesign does
