Offering choices and configuration options in applications is not zero-cost, and people more qualified and eloquent than me have written why.
having choices and options is the reason why people switch to Linux, otherwise they can stay at OSX or Windows - protect people from having choices is a bad attitude and frankly if that would have been widespreaded around 2006 i would never became a Linux and network professional
If gnome-software aims to be novice-user-friendly, at least the latter should definitely be an option.I don't see the logic there, sorry. Novice users don't understand the fine nuances of the design choices of different desktop environments.
if you hide anything you can they will stay novice users forever
