Doom Emacs is, I think, the answer here:

1. Install Emacs

2. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/doomemacs/doomemacs ~/.config/emacs

3. ~/.config/emacs/bin/doom install

Now open Emacs and stuff just works. You can customize it later if you want.

I agree with your general point. People mostly want stuff that just works. Very few want to become experts (and nobody can be an expert in everything.)
