Convenience is king, and the simplest solution will win. i f Bitcoin's usage can't be simplified it won't be used. I think it's unfortunate, but that's how it is. For people that want to take control, they should be able to. It's all open source protocols, and noone is stopping you from implementing software that allows for more control.
