The alternative is to not have (most of them) at all.
The reality is that 99.5% of users have perhaps 10 or 20 actual usecases/requrements. - You named a few of the most prominent ones.
These need to be supported (e.g. with flags) and documented properly.
Everything else is excess can be removed.
The problem with this is:
You need to find out what users want to do.
But many software projects are just too lazy and push all the effort downstream.
