Also, natural language is a better command interface than iconic point and click for intermediate to advanced users. The mouse studies that came out of Apple back in the day were based on testing against the mass market so their findings only apply to mom, pop, buddy and sis.

Have there been studies done on "advanced users"? I'm an advanced user and I think mouse based interfaces are great when mixed sensibly with keyboard shortcuts and command search (like VSCode's Ctrl-Shift-P).

I'm not going to ever use the Edit->Copy menu but I'm also not going to learn the shortcut to click the Ublock origin button in Chrome, which I do maybe once a month.

Do you have any evidence for your assertion? It sounds like snobbery.
