Believe me, I do understand reproducing the curves and all is complicated, but the point I'm trying to get across is that that's not the goal for most people. Most people literally couldn't look at a photo and tell you if the picture came out of Lightroom or something else. When they do +2 exposure and -50 highlights, they're not thinking "will my cousin be able to tell that this didn't come out of Lightroom". They're thinking "will my cousin be even able to see me in the shadow and see the clouds in the blue sky". Heck, if the difference ends up being so awful and noticeable that you can't stand it, you can at least tweak the settings from there. But at least the software tried to do some of the work for you to get you around the right ballpark! If nothing else, at least you can see which settings needed to be adjusted so you don't have to spend time rediscovering that part for every photo! You don't have to force every single user to start from scratch for every single picture.
