Yes we developers and engineers as a class of human beings love being able to set things to the nth degree as can be seen by the comments here but that's not necessarily the right choice for the vast majority of projects.
Most normal human beings want simple tools that do what they say on the box and don't require much cognitive load at all.
Every setting, every "knob" introduces to the average user a feeling of frustration, confusion, complication.
To an engineering minded person they might find all those options exciting but to someone who just needs to GET SHIT DONE those extra options are hellish and anxiety inducing.
In a few rare cases an application is best designed with more knobs but it's very definitely the exception and almost always a clear sign of shitty design made by engineers for people who they imagine are like them and not professional designers who have actually worked with the general public and know what they actually want, how they think, what they need.
More knobs is almost always a sign of lazy thoughtless design.
