Maybe me, as a user, don't want your sameness. Why are you arguing that users should use things differently if they're happy with their own way, even if it's suboptimal in your opinion?
It's completely fine to hide certain configuration flags in "dev mode" sections and put warnings that you don't provide support for anything but default configuration of them. If your users want to be on their own, you have no responsibility to solve all their problems as long as you are explicit with what you support and not.
