Very accurate and I don't disagree. I want to be clear my comment was only as a partial correction for the last sentence of the original comment and am in no way advocating for programmable buttons to stay this way. The argument is the status quo is simplicity (you know, except for all of the times the software is so bad that it basically doesn't work either because of bad UI or terrible programming) despite the fact the true reasoning is likely creating false brand loyalty and likely some means of selling user data. Personally, I'd like to see the availability of choice between proprietary and FOSS, even if it's only to force the big wigs to develop better software since the bar is currently on the ground on a good day.
