Photoshop Needs an Update/Refresh to its Interfaces and Routines

I have been working with Adobe Photoshop (Illustrator, After Effects & Premiere Pro as well) for ~20 years. And over the last five it is a little curious to see so many updates to filters, generative tools, and advanced selection tools and almost literally nothing else. I like these changes and updates, don't get me wrong. 

But the basic workflow of the app feels positively archaic in 2025. A good example of a the kinds of circular and needlessly complicated routines PS still requires here: 

An example of a brutally segmented task that many people are familiar with below. It's something that sometimes I'll do from habit without thinking about. But when I think about it, it's absurd.

The math that compels a pixel selection -> path -> shape is right there and should be controllable with a two click operation, and one click in any one direction creating a real-time layer (not a saved custom shape that requires more tedious menu diving or a path in a paths tab that visually corresponds to nothing and requires more separate steps to create something graphically meaningful). 

1. Make a selection: Select the pixels within the raster mask you want to convert. You can do this by holding Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) and clicking the layer thumbnail in the Layers panel.
2. Convert the selection to a path: Go to the Paths panel (Window > Paths) and click the Make Work Path icon (a dotted circle) at the bottom. You may need to adjust the tolerance for best results. 
3. Make sure the path is selected: In the Paths panel, make sure the path you just created is selected.
4. Convert path to shape: In the options bar at the top, click the Shape button. This will create a new shape layer with the path as its vector mask 5.
5. Fill the shape: With the new shape layer selected, choose a solid color fill from the Layers panel menu (Layer > New Fill Layer)

Other examples of out-of-date interfaces that could use a refresh.
1.) Anything related to color range selections and/or legacy filters that propagate into useless postage stamp-like windows that we are supposed to use as a preview.
2.) And save-for-web style menu options with cluttered Windows 3.1 style interfaces.

Still enjoy the products professionally but consider some updates like this focused on modern usability.
