cameras are a dedicated tool for sampling visual data. they are very tightly designed to be good at that, and have been optimized to a nearly ideal form over the course of more than a century. cameras won't provide a decent ergonomic experience for anything else without significant change. on the professional end, the camera will always remain strictly a sampling tool, and processing the sample is done with full attention, usually later. the level of detail and control that is already demanded by post-processing requires a complex interface, and often dedicated control surfaces. additional creative complexity will not be attempted at point of capture with worse control. in every other use case, of course there is room for experimentation, but there is no reason to put that on the camera. every user is carrying a more powerful device with a bigger display and better touch surface in their pocket. the camera will remain an optimized sampling tool.
