it's because this is a continuing trend that seems to be speeding up rather than slowing down. from one OS X version to the next, there continues to be a decline of the user interface and experience, where every new OS X version requires even experienced users to search "how do i do the thing i used to be able to do". it's not even about being able to do new things. it's just being able to continue using features you knew only to find out they've been changed for some seemingly arbitrary reason. the number one example i have is that at one point, they thought it was a good idea to have facetime automatically reduce all system volume when on a call. fine. maybe. but there is no option to turn that "feature" off when it should be a trivial matter to do so. so now, when facetiming with my brother, i have to go get another device or hang up and call him back if we want to share a youtube video or a song or whatever.
