Making Firefox's right-click not suck with about:c...
Not a UX designer, but having supported systems for decades I don't agree with your statement. If you got the system down to a single button that said 'Do' the user would still somehow screw it up.

This only depends on how much money they have. If dumb users pay the most, then businesses will optimize for them.
