Your missing the forest for the trees here.
Users will not fumble with the complex web of nested settings that engineers wet dream about.
But they will tell the LLM "I'd really like it if the tool bar only had the hammer and saw tools", and it will be done.
I cannot see software going in any other direction than a blank front end that users prompt LLMs to run scripts on top of.
Picture MS Word where the GUI is just a page and a sidebar for telling an LLM what you want it to do. And if it's not possible, the LLM could even write extensions and plugins that make it possible.
Software is going to completely change.
That only requires apps to be configurable. You don't need a whole new app to configure a toolbar.

Done. And it seems absolutely awful.
"Please bold the text I have selected" instead of a preexisting bold button.
Oh wait I can just tell it all the tools I commonly use and where to put them... Hmmm topbar or side bar. Wow so much fun getting to make all these decisions!
Ok time to change fonts. "Please add a font picker so I can pick a font"
