90% of the time when a camera fails, doesn't capture the shot, ect.. it's user related. If your too lazy to learn your camera inside out, then shame on you. Most folks that own a camera are just spraying and praying. If your a Real photographer then even switching brands won't hold you back... To learn Every function or feature might take a few days, but please, a year???????
I don't look at it as "Shame on you!" if someone is too busy, or too uninterested to completely learn their cameras top to bottom. I think of it as "Good for me!", because there's less competition, in an already glutted field. Let photography naturally cull out, not the blurry images, but the blurry photographers.
So, no shame, in my opinion.
But, I totally know what you mean. LOL!
I have a friend who can afford the most expensive equipment the moment it comes out!
And you can guess how much of a skilled photographer he is.
Yet cameras today have very deep menus.
I know of no one so far, who knows how to program custom menus, and at the same time,
also uses, and knows how to use every feature available.
I only program and use what I want. Like assigning, assignable buttons, etc, etc. etc.
This same mindset goes for huge programs like, Photoshop / Lightroom.
No need to know the entire program.
