Hmm. I wouldn't characterize an action as a "lazy" way of getting
results.
The notion of using an action is to automate tasks of arbitrary
complexity that you want to be repeatable and that might be used many
times. I have defined many many actions to make it easy and
consistent to get the results I want without mistakes.
So this action allows one to pick a simple set of parameters and
consistently, repeatably get a particular look. The same thing would
be possible with the built-in controls, is built on the built-in
controls, but if you wanted to do it 100 times you would likely find
it a bit tedious to do, and likely would find yourself making
mistakes doing it that way.

It's basically a lazy or busy person's way of getting the results

without having to do a lot of thinking about it.
