Right! > But isn't there a way to do that via 'add Layer' menu or via the 'add > WMS/WMTS' button?

It is quite complicated and the user experience is not great. I am not sure XYZ layers should be even handled within WM(T)S dialog - there is nothing like GetCapabilities, layer/style/crs selection etc. XYZ layers would still deserve some kind of configuration GUI - apart from URL, users should be able to set min/max zoom levels. The current solution was just a quick way to make XYZ layers available to users...
