Maybe the point is, please stop the mutations. If every couple of years someone came to your house while you were out, and completely rearranged everything, I'd bet you'd be pretty annoyed, mainly because all the time you invested in learning the prior layout was unilaterally and without consultation suddenly turned into wasted time. And then, as you're re-learning how to do basic stuff you already knew how to do, and it strikes you that in a couple of seasons, this learning effort will also be wasted, you will be annoyed a Second Time. The OS should indeed "get out of the way". The best way to do that would be to stop getting in our faces, bc fashion.
