Anki has _way_ too many knobs and options. It is overwhelming, and they are also footguns.

The success of WaniKani for example is notable because you can effectively make the exact same thing for free using Anki (and the unofficial decks are available) but it is still quite popular to pay for the managed experience.

I’m sorry for being dense, but I don’t quite understand the issue.

From the workflow of downloading Anki and adding to the default deck, how do the settings and knobs factor into it?

I’m not here to just argue. I am legitimately interested. I just don’t want to assume too much.
