Windows does that, and its regular users barely visit Control Panel, not to mention .msc-s and other system menus, e.g. Security or Sharing tab. When something breaks or they have an idea that isn’t in a nearby menu, they call a nearby programmer for help. Your sentiment is agreeable, but we are still unable make interfaces you want.

There probably even is a button or a sequence of ui actions in your system for half of things you wanted. But these are less discoverable than a bash pipe available right there on SO, three clicks away rather than ten+ that will change location and names with the next update. It becomes hard either way, but only a stable and replayable way wins.
