> didn't actually add value to the root product, beyond making it easier to use
What a peculiar thing to say. A product that is too difficult for anyone to use has zero value in the market, no matter how valuable it would be if it could be operated. Making a product easier to use increases the amount of people it can be sold to, directly adding value.
Imagine if the only way anyone could use a browser was to write your their compiler first, the web would never have taken off. There is tremendous value in making things easier to use.
