As has been pointed out repeatedly, it can be enabled with 1 or 2
commands. It was never case that anything and everything that is
possible was also enabled. It's always been about trade-offs.

Also, may I point out gently that Ubuntu never made it a secret that
their system should be usable by what you so nicely call "idiots" (which
includes, for example, my wife. thanks). Cf. bug #1, 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1

There are other linux distros to choose from, which is kind of the
point.
