You seem to be under the impression that interface controls of any sort are there to maximise your ease of use. This is very much not the case, the controls are designed by someone that has never used the interface before, never will use it and has no experience in using any interface even vaguely like it. Your role in the endeavour is to try to memorise the arse backwards design and get by as best you can.
