I think this is the classic example of "things programmers think users want but don't". There's a literal translation from if-statements -> command-line flags -> checkboxes/radiobuttons. It's easy to implement, and users don't want it, because users don't use applications by thinking about the if-statements used to implement them.
Half of these items should simply be fixed or implemented, and don't correspond to "options" at all.
