There's a quote along the lines of "User error is not a thing, the system allowed for the error through bad design"
Which can be true depending on how far you stretch it. I'd say that if a chunk of the user base is having a problem, it's a design problem
But IMO that's one reason weird UX/design is not uncommon and can persist in dev ecosystems. The intended users are more proficient than average and most are able to work around most issues.
