No tweak tool: bad A tweak tool: bad

What I actually mean is: Completely hidden or absent settings ("no tweak tool"): bad Settings hidden in a tweak tool: bad Settings available and exposed in the normal settings dialog: good
That is exactly what I mean: I explained why it is not in the main dialog. The setting is available. There is a GUI. Still bad, has to be done in yet another way.
For instance: "Settings hidden in a tweak tool": Those settings aren't hidden.
There was a nice post by a developer at Microsoft on settings. First there would be a request for a setting. Eventually it would be added to the registry. Then exposed somewhere else. Eventually in the main program. Every step hugely increases the amount of work that has to be done. I tried finding the blogpost, but very unfortunately could not.
If the only thing you can do is complain about the work that other people do, find another hobby or something.
This ad hominem attack deserves no reply.
You call ad hominem and strawman way too quickly. Suggest not claiming stuff like "Settings hidden in a tweak tool", as that is just not true. I could look up what term is used for that, but cannot be bothered.
