Completely agree. My childhood nightmare from maintaining my cheap commuter bike was the old crank-arm attachment system with wedges (or "cotters", I just learned [0]). I used a mallet to get them out, and with my low level of control it took a bit of luck to not bend the thread. Also, back then there was no ways to get parts: I could go to the local bikeshop, but the selection was small and the markup on spares was insane. Replacing a drivetrain (as I now do every second year) would probably cost more than a new bike. These days I can order parts and tools at incredible prices and have them delivered the next day.
