..."until I want to do something that the default Apple behavior does not do."
To oversimplify, it's like saying "you can do these 10 things and they're guaranteed to work". On some platforms, you can do things 11-20 as well, but there's a chance they may not work as desired. This may still be preferable to a total inability to go past the first 10 due to restrictions.
I find that a lot of computing devices work fine out of the box if you use them exactly the way the included first-party options were tested to work. It's gotten to the point where I'm less concerned about how nicely they succeed at the "common" things than how well I can deal with them when they "fail" (to do the thing I want them to do).
I appreciate easy and convenient as much as the next person, but if I have to choose between "must install app or change configuration to do what I need" and "nope, you can't do that", I'll take the former.
