Wizards are programs with user interfaces. The more sophisticated a wizard becomes, the sophisticated its programs and user interfaces become—and the more it costs to develop and maintain that wizard. Those cupcakes aren’t free.
Are you willing to organize a large eaters-of-cupcakes group to raise money for a bakers-of-cupcakes group to create the wizard you want? That’s all those bakers-of-cupcakes are asking for. A good paycheck for a good product.

I like this discussion. So where does one make the dividing line? Lets
swap the story a bit. That clock thing is too cliche even for me.
I find it completely acceptable that I can use an Apache server without
understanding how it's made, what all the options are, or even how to
set it up. I believe I should be able to walk into the bakery and ask
for a dozen cupcakes and have the person there interview me for the
needed information, and then give me a box with my cupcakes, made the
way I asked they be made. That's all I am asking. A Wizard interview
that asks the questions at my eater-of-cupcakes level of understanding;
not at the level of the baker-of-cupcakes. Plus ask all the questions
that are likely to be needed. ( CORS would be my example for that.)

Because you're looking to build clocks, not tell time. So you better know
how gears, springs, quarts, batteries, etc work. Depending on what type of
clock you want.
The consumer tells time using your clock.
