Younger me used to "explore" the OS or any software by clicking all the things. It was part of growing and learning. I was never afraid to click the wrong thing. It's similar to those that take things apart just to see what's inside. I had no idea that I was the edge case of personality types.
Things that are "hidden" are just discoveries waiting to happen for those that look. For those that need their hands held and guided through the world, those things might stay "hidden". Just as you feel irked that things are hidden, I feel irked by people that don't go looking. Push all the buttons. Turn all the knobs. Click all the things.

When I write software or apps and there is a feature that I want users to utilize I do not gate it behind the rare chance that a user will activate it by shaking their device or rotating it 360 degrees or something else obtuse that nobody ever does. I grew up with custom android ROMs with all the customization I could want and now live in an age where I can take just about any software and use an LLM to customize it to meet my needs, I use Tasker and have scripts out the woohaa on my Linux desktop. I hate it when companies add "hidden" features and don't tell you anywhere.
