Not really. My main complaint is that you were making it sound as if the inconvenience for the "majority" is very severe with "many not discover", "live with", and such phrases, while making the inconveience you are placing on the "minority" trivial with "easily set" and "already tells them". That sounds a lot more like making a lame excuse than doing a balanced analysis of pros and cons of the change.
