Scanner interfaces follow (seen over all available scanning
applications) currently two paradigm:

a) Give access to all possibilities the scanner offers and do lot's of
postprocessing when necessary ( Silverfast is here the best
applicationto mention), ideally no external application is needed to
give desired results in best available quality.

b) Show only a reduced subset of the possibilities to simplify scanning
as much as possible (e.g. HP Twain is a horrible example for that).
Ideally no external application is needed, as long as you use the scans
only in the simplified use-scenarios. (Saving as PDF, Print, Mail ...).

As you can see in both cases the possibilities are not limited by the
scanner itself. It's a decision of developers (and in some cases) of
users demand.

Currently no (I mean this serious) scanning application available on Linux can 
fullfill a) or b). 
Simple-Scan is on a good road to b), but lacks some features.
