That's not an inherently bad thing though, same as it's not inherently bad that not everyone can repair their car, or sew up tears in their trousers.

The relevant aphorism is "make it as simple as possible, but not simpler". You can add functionality to make things easier, same as syntactic sugar in programming languages. You shouldn't turn the person using your system into an object, just accepting what it gives them in response to their magic movements or clicking pictures.
