But on the contrary.. many of the things well-built for the majority of 'non-programmer end users' are not the way I (as a 'programmer end user', whether the particular thing is a programming-adjacent tool or not) would ideally like them to be.

So I'd selfishly adjust it to 'solve other problems for the same users'! Asahi, for example, awesome stuff - I've lost count how many times I've had to explain (to both colleagues and non-engineer family/friends/etc.) 'no no, absolutely agree, love Mac hardware [...]'.
