OP: Your thoughts are legit, but you will face lots of opposition from existing users and from the developers, as these VNAs are designed to have every possible feature and are built to perform just enough above the lowest possible performance standards to keep costs to a minimum and folks buying.
THEY ARE NOT BUILT AT ALL FOR EASE OF USE.
As a comparison, compare and contrast a ham radio built by hams, but incorporating DSP/SDR elements...to an SDR built by non-ham programmers. :)
One is easy to use while the other is like using C++ as a radio interface...in a translated language...with inverted colors...
My phone has a dual interface, which would be welcome on hobbyist VNAs. In full-feature mode it's the latest and greatest version of Android. In "easy" mode it lacks many features but is super easy to use for common tasks.
Hint, hint, developers?

Hello.
I just wanted to ask if there is any interest from the community or the developers to make the menu easy for radio amateurs, for people that are not engineers? Currently the menu is a big mess with a lot of options and sub-options and so on. So if you want to make a simple measure, you have to go in many menus to change many settings. I know this gives a lot of control, but I will be very nice to have a few buttons on the main screen, like a main menu, that take you to the most used measurements, with all of the settings already set, with bigger font and a few buttons to change some settings only to that current measurement. I also do not know if this is something that the hardware supports.
