How many people have these issues with audio and networking? I currently have 8 Linux computers and none of this has been necessary on any of them. It surprises me how many people claim to have endless difficult experiences. Many distros make it all very easy these days.

And editing a config file is hardly a "brick wall".

Its definitely a brick wall to a majority of people using Windows right now.

No it's not but it's also not something I'm prepared to put up with. When I turn my computer on it's because I have something I want to do and the thing I want to do with it is not mess with the basic configuration.
