It's a race to the bottom, for any tool out there the negative reviews boil down to complexity. If not: no instruction.

Some people don't know how to operate a TV remote controller, unless it has 1 or 2 buttons.

It's protection against the frustration that a few experience: ultimately unable to use a thing or jam it. At the expense of the majority bugged by mild distraction.

I think if I'm honest, I don't deeply know everything about most of the products that I use. And if I were to dive deeply, I would spend all my time learning products than doing anything with them.
For me it is not a mild distraction. If it was one product it would be easier to take it in stride but I literally close hundreds of modal dialogs that never should have opened in the first place every day.
