Providing obvious, useful functionality has no more relationship to the concept of a cargo cult than providing a cup holder in a car.
Don't deny your users the 80% (more like 99%) case just because there's a complicated tool out there that, with a bunch of bloat and UX problems, can also provide the 20% (1%) case.
