KDE is interesting and all but GNOME lets me actually get work done; it wasn't designed to appeal to a 3-year-old.
Its not about pretty interface.
It is about easy to use interface, and less options, mean less chance the interface will fit you.
Remember that peoples are different, remember that small fact, that tends to be forgotten.
Something that is easy/intuitive for one user, isn't for another and vise versa.
Settings is exactly that, they allow the computer to be fitted for the user needs.
If user doesn't know how to use them, then he uses defaults, just like in case of no settings.
