You assume that people want exact control of everything they use, whereas most people want detailed domain knowledge and control of a few things and would prefer the rest just worked simply without configuration. Interfaces also differ dramatically in whether the knowledge on how to use them is internalised (eg the command line) or externalised (many gui interfaces). Then there is discoverability, making a user interface something you can gradually learn and find the extra features in - like hotkeys and shortcuts. That's one case where Gnome 3.2 panel in fallback fails horribly - alt right-click ???? how will anyone logically deduce this and try it ? If you've not read it you might find Norman's "The Design of Everyday Things" an interesting read.
