I agree with that, but I don't understand how e.g. hiding the Library folder puts too much of a burden on those few who really need to access it. They're probably at home on the command line anyway.
Sure, simplifications can go too far some times, but I'd say most self-declared "power users" don't really need what they think they need.
When I saw that the new Safari doesn't display cookie details (like name, expiration date, etc.) in the privacy pane, I at first thought that they took away too much information. But then I came to realize that even though I could understand that information, I've never actually used it or had a need for it. All the information important in the context of privacy settings is available, and much more streamlined than in previous versions. And I shouldn't even really need to worry about any of that, since a good browser should take care of protecting my privacy for me (e.g. by blocking 3rd party and ad cookies by default, which Safari does). The only time I actually needed that cookie information was during web development, and in that context its still available via the Develop menu.
