Yeah, I had a similar attitude towards "needlessly" electric kitchen tools such as electric pepper grinders and electric knives.
Then I injured my hand trying to take the lid off my pepper grinder to refill it, and, being diabetic, it took months to heal.
I got myself an electric pepper grinder.
Didn't want the same injury to happen again.
Things which might be "lazy" to able-bodied folks, can make a big difference to those less able - even for something as trivial as pepper.
