This is because of what we have today, it's not how it needs to be.
I wouldn't mind a GUI where I put constraints to the elements visually and then check the different ratios/sizes I want to support and bam, done.
As a field we're under a general assumption that it makes sense to do visual work textually. Just because WYSIWYG tended to be overly verbose and used by "noobs" that it's not how it should be.
Imagine most people making music by just writing notes and then only playing it back afterwards.
