That's kind of the same-but-opposite of my experience.
When software tries to control how it's going to be used, it fails spectacularly more often than not, ime. The best software that I've used always leans into the problem: They let me access it via a dump. Then I can manipulate it as I need, then upload it back in.
But when those that don't understand the workflow try to tell developers how to design software, it usually ends up in a big mess of workarounds just to get the basic use-case to work correctly.
