I consider myself a relatively tech-savvy person but the issue you raise is a substantial problem with iOS. I don’t want to have to write code to create workflows in order to use the tool. The fact that to be a power user of the tool I have to create workflows is a major problem with the platform. For the same reason I abandoned OmniFocus (and other task management apps) where there is all kinds of time spent in process and not enough time in doing.
