    Steam OS has kind of the same philosophy too. Normal users can treat it like a switch, only ever downloading from steam, and have a perfectly intuitive experience. But power users still have the options to run other software, customize the os, and even outright replace the os.

    Although it's pretty easy to stumble upon some guide that you don't understand that gets you to enable dev mode. Not saying it happens a lot, but there's not a very high bar for the test for enabling dev mode.
