ARE ALL TV REMOTE CONTROLS BAD?

Did anyone define “good”? I mean, other than a mind reading remote.

Also, was there any discussion on why they are all “bad”? Not the superficial “difficult to use” crap, but actual root cause. Why is it difficult to use? Why are there too many features.

And finally, this is not a new phenomena. Was there any discussion about what can be done, or was there just a lot wringing of hands and general smugness?
