I think this programmer shows a little more depth than assuming that everyone shares his lack of use of these tools. I don't think he was trying to tell photoshop that they don't need such a large breadth of tools, he was telling programmers that more tools is not necessarily better. I think he's pointing out that simplicity is valuable as a reflection of the intent of the program. The iPhone app is not worse than photoshop, because its simplicity and LACK of design options are necessary components of a simple, quick, and control surrendering user interface. I imagine he recognizes the value of having obscure tools on a program like photoshop, but is pointing out that these extra options would ruin the photo app he loves. I like this message, as we often treat extra options as costless ways of improving a user experience, when often they can create a certain detriment. Options and simplicity should reflect the intent and user implementation of the program, and failure to do so can really ruin a user experience.
