Not even close to analogous.

This is a much, much better analogy. But again, it’s moot.

I’d agree with the first part. We will all get used to it in time, and it will be fine. But the complaints do have merit, and are the only reason there is a 60ish item list of fixes at all. It’s super clunky to use in its current form, as evidenced by the uproar over Oaknotes in the first place (which I didn’t even use).

Honestly, the thing that is irritating the most is the ridiculously long lead time to get the “fixes” fielded.
