On the other hand, if you went and browsed the visual interface, you might discover you could purchase a 1/2” drive to 1/4” hex adapter, thereby opening up the possibility of using the entire set of impact driver bits you already own.

That doesn't solve the problem I have, because I already have a 1/4" ratchet and I don't have a 1/4" T50 bit.
Furthermore, a T50 bit with 1/4" drive would just snap instantly. If the bit didn't break, you'd twist the end off the extension bar.
I have a specific problem, which I already know how to solve, which has a specific solution, for which I need a specific component.

Nonsense. They make T50 bits for regular impact drivers and they don’t immediately self-destruct.
Anyway the point was about the discoverability factor of user interfaces.

So why would a 1/2" to 1/4" adaptor help, then?
Consider that to crack the seat bolts free initially, I need to use a metre long breaker bar to get them moving, and I need to torque them down to something ridiculous on refitting.
