The keyboard shortcuts are not as big a hurdle as asking a non tech savvy person to set up their dotfiles.
mum broke her goddamn
.vimrcagainJesus... just learn some lua, mum

You can build a GUI around that and many desktop environments do just that. All desktops use a config files or registries deep down, not all of them have an options menu. You drop a lifelong windows user in i3 and they will burnout within minutes trying to move a window and will quit thinking that they are stupid.
Oh for sure, I'm saying just out of the box the amount of tinkering is above what most would consider use friendly. My hyprland setup has a GUI and its very intuitive, but they dont all have that.
