No, it means that we don't show things that:
1) don't match use cases we're interested in
2) are work-arounds for particular use cases instead of properly designed fixes
3) are necessary for deployments, but not for individual users

If you think there are settings that are in gnome-tweak-tool should be available
in the main Settings panel, file a bug against gnome-control-center upstream,
and we'll consider it (if it hasn't already been).

We don't insult our users' intelligence, we just don't show settings that only
benefit a very small minority of our users, especially when that very small minority
is part of the existing Fedora and GNOME users that already know about the "TweakUI"
tools available.
