Bitcoin ecosystem today is far from friendly.
I agree, entering Bitcoin world is not advised for the faint of heart, you need certain amount of knowledge before you even start.

There are tons of scammers everywhere, one can mistype an address and lose money, put a wrong GAS amount and lose money, forget private key and lose all money.
Scammers will be there always - as for other instances of fucking yourself up, unfortunately, bitcoin is not idiot-friendly, it doesn't forgives mistakes.
What we as pioneers should focus on is user experience: new people should feel more friendly when start using Bitcoin. The interface of the apps should be more intuitive and less scary. We should create an ecosystem with a strong scam defense.
I can sympathize with your idea, but some things simply can't be changed easily, for example, the way bitcoin network works.
Bitcoin transaction will be always irreversible (at least in the foreseeable future) and that is a perfect ground for every possible scam.
What can be done to made wallets less scary? After all they are pretty easy to use - once you know basic principles of BTC.

Well it's user friendly and not complex which is a great virtue but I think with consistent security improvements it will remain the best of all Bitcoin wallets for a long time.

The software industry is 60 years old but UX is still inexcusably underestimated  Cheesy
