Corporate marketing says all that matters is the noobs, oh and we need this list of features nobody actually uses for our marketing campaigns in a giant checklist, you know, right next to the checkbox for "security". So we can sell to noobs while convincing them they're real power users because it can do complicated things no one wants to do. The folks who know what they're doing? Forget about them, we're not selling to them. So we're stuck with the fisher-price user interface. Meanwhile the devs can't eat their own dogfood because they're not utter noobs, and nobody wants the featurelist marketing is pushing. Why FOSS projects feel the need to emulate this toxic corporate culture is a complete mystery, but they certainly do a good job of it.
