> It’s like complaining your driving instructor’s car can’t be used to dig a trench without extensive modification.

Correct. But then you get hired for a trench-digging job, and told that you have to use the car, because reasons. And so you wind up really hating the car, when the problem was the other people who decided that it was the right tool for that job.

That's not a problem caused by the car. That's a problem caused by someone looking at a worksheet, see "dig a trench" in it, and promptly say "this looks like a job for my trusty car.".
