[Usability] "Advanced" button?

GNOME has the image in the Linux community of being simplistic or featureless due to its preference not to add an option for everything under the sun. Why does GNOME not use an Advanced button to hide pickier settings keeping the regular user's experience the clean GNOME look which is desired?
