When you have highly granular controls, you need to create intermediary common sets or “profiles” of those sets at decreasing levels of granularity for the more common use cases, at least some of the most common sets where I can simply choose a single setting to effect everything with sane defaults.

Consumer cameras remind me of this when they started mimicking more and more sophisticated feature sets of professional cameras. Sure I want that fantastic sensor, great lens setup and ability to take both narrow and wide depth of field photos but I don’t know or rather want to be bothered dealing with adjusting all my f-stops, focal point etc. I need automation where possible for these cases to give me sane results.

In that case it’s a bit more complex because you have engineering problems for those intermediary steps (e.g. autofocus and making sure the image results meet criteria) whereas for software profiles you can often get away with just choosing option sets. Some options still can’t be hand waived away though and require some degree of looking at other things to inform them or being manually set even for pure software controls.
