That is exactly what I mean: I explained why it is not in the main
dialog. The setting is available. There is a GUI. Still bad, has to be
done in yet another way.
For instance:
"Settings hidden in a tweak tool": Those settings aren't hidden.
There was a nice post by a developer at Microsoft on settings. First
there would be a request for a setting. Eventually it would be added to
the registry. Then exposed somewhere else. Eventually in the main
program. Every step hugely increases the amount of work that has to be
done. I tried finding the blogpost, but very unfortunately could not.

You call ad hominem and strawman way too quickly. Suggest not claiming
stuff like "Settings hidden in a tweak tool", as that is just not true.
I could look up what term is used for that, but cannot be bothered.
