Until they use an engine that doesn't have the ability to completely break the game with the tiniest of mods, things will never be as simple as they want it.
That, and consoles can't handle a lot of the mods that PCs can, especially texture ones (which are the only ones that don't actually break the game).
@jedediahpelland: Oh god that got so much worse after the update that added newly registered games to your account in that list. RIP the last 5 games I was actually playing.
