This reads a lot like "I have been force-fed tech that has 1-click functions, auto updates, major feature changes, and no sovereignty and a node doesn't have that so it sucks."

Some things are not other things. I know, it sucks but, chess isn't checkers. Sometimes to do truly cool stuff, you have to work harder. Wage slaves would lament building their own business because you can't just work and collect a check. Sorry, some stuff is worth the effort. Bitcoin is one such thing.
