Offended? No, why would I be? That is after all, your own opinion, which you are entitled to.
However, there's no complexity in using an action script on the user's side of things. What you are trying to say is like, all users must learn how to skin, so they can create their own skins, if they want to do so, great, good for them, but that's not what action scripting is about... I reckon in the future, all 'official' action scripts will be zipped (zsm files), all the user needs to do is put those files in a folder called 'Scripts' (or is it plugins, I forget), reboot MXM and viola, script is installed and working, I hardly see that as a challenge, even for the most technically inclined users around.
But hey, keep your opinions and your shitty dashboards, fuck if I care what the fuck you use. Offended? Good, well I don't give a shit. <
