System setting to hide the advanced stuff.
This has been requested before, but there are multiple ways to look at the problem that result in it remaining where it is.
The system could default to a "simplified" interface across the board, because it would need to apply to ALL blocks AND the front-panel AND in Edit, not just to the Amp block, and would force rewriting the manual to move the deeper information to the end or the creation of
another manual. This would appeal to a small subset of new users who are intimidated by complexity or have option paralysis, but odds are good they wouldn't read it either. It would also irritate those who bought what they believed was a high-end device but "has no flexibility or options" so they immediately reject it and report on the internet that "it sux", simply because they didn't read the manual far enough to find out that they could change it. It also would result in feedback and questions from the pros, who the system is designed for, on how to return the system to its traditional/expected interface. It would also force reworking the existing firmware and Edit, which, in a small company is a very time-consuming and costly exercise with no idea how many would want it or use it for more than a week or month. The expense would have to be justified by a big increase in sales, and I have a hard time believing that would happen.
The current interface could remain, with an option in the system settings that toggles the simplified setting. Fractal would still hear the same "it sux" comments because many people would not read the manual to learn how to move through the front-panel and toggle it. And, FAS would have spent the time and money to rework it. I have a hard time believing they'd go there.
They can leave it as is and have a small subset of users who want that capability and have a small number of complaints, without spending a lot of time reworking the firmware and editor. I would follow that path if it was my company and my dollar.
Hick's Law is useful when working in a well-funded and large development group, when they have enough staff to spin off a human-interface team who is responsible for that single aspect of the software. Fractal is a small company where people wear multiple hats and that testing would be a hard to justify luxury in the tiny corner of technology they exist in.
I was intimidated by the interface when I first started using the system, and there are still things I have to dive into the manual to figure out, but I expect that with a technical device if I want to use it as best I can.
