nothing stupid. As CUPS (and lots of modern software) is based on
windows-like philosophy even if runs on unix, it's quite natural.
Someone decided that the right steps of installing driver is to connect
printer and then install, so user HAVE TO FOLLOW the steps.
Any departure is simply bad, as main windows-like philosophy theorem is
that user are not allowed to think, because of the danger he/she will
become a master of his/her own computer, while making him a slave is a
target.
Only those who are slaves of their own computer, and programs they use,
will constantly need help and pay for it.
