Valid, yes. But this should never be the sole method of discovery.

Good UX provides clues to discovering additional functionality without intruding on the user.

What’s the alternative? That’s a question for a UX team - something Apple can certainly afford.

This does that. It's behind a button that means "click this for a bunch of stuff you can do here"
