I don't get how "layers and layers of abstraction/concepts that are hard to grasp for a newcomer" is your critique here? The literal entirety of tech is layers and layers of abstraction. Also, just because the improvements or new concepts are going to be difficult for newcomers to grasp doesn't mean they are objectively bad. The fact that things are going to be difficult for newcomers should not be an impeding factor on whether or not to build upon existing features. There are ways for newcomers to build up their way to eventually learn the advance concepts. Newcomers are not forced to go from 0-100 on day 1
