@hamishcampbell @thibaultamartin If I had to guess why, it's because "this needs to become easier" resembles the big tech argument of "the user is too dumb" used to actively beat back rights/choice/control around hardware and software products that consumers buy.

It also clashes somewhat with the hacker/purist ideal of grinning and bearing a steeper learning curve to achieve fuller mastery of the machine.

But of course tech can work for both tinkerers and not. It's not either/or.
