Why would anyone need a bespoke command line program to manage photos in 2016? I'm really confused by what problem you think people have that they themselves don't think they have.

Pandering because they're not interested in your hobby? What type of arrogance is this? You could make this same argument about literally anything.

Look. At the start your lamenting that people don't write their own programs instead "godawful" OEM software, that they know how to use because they do use it. Then in the second part, you say that it's cool to not know how an internal combustion engine works, because I know how to drive. That's shifting the bar. They are as you say, "driving their machine" by using the "godawful" OEM software. They're solving their need. Why can't you just respect that?

The aren't solving their need, their solving the particular subset that their software allows, they think it's a hardware limitation.
