I disagree. UI walkthroughs are like instruction manuals. Some people read them, but most just toss them aside and learn about the product by using it. I think there definitely needs to be some sort of help section within the app that the user can refer to when needed, but for the most part UI walkthroughs are just barriers of entry. I would even argue that most UI walkthroughs are pretty overwhelming for the average user.
