The level of abstraction may differ, but the venerable Law of Leaky Abstractions is as true for end users as it is for developers. Looking at it through this lens, it makes absolute sense to design in such a way that the first layer or two of underlying complexity is accessible, even if not presented up front. You'll never be able to rely on every user to think things through and make informed choices, but if you hide too much then none of them can.
