I think that it's really the difference between a dev / hacker / grad student deployment and and widespread use cases.
Even if you look at some of the emails that this list sees from developers trying to spin up Tahoe in what I would consider the most basic model there are questions that wouldn't come from a more easily used product. This isn't something that is generally headed to anything outside of a Dev Ops model for quite some time.
