Very hard to twist, yes. It’s like one person wanted to add the feature and another person wanted it to look bello and they both won. I love it (see preference for tooled adjustment) but function definitely wasn’t a top two design requirement - to the point I don’t consider it a feature of the brake.
As to wandering bite point. I only regularly notice it in an ugly/unpredictable way with (some) Shimano brakes.
Hayes Dominion is absolutely the most consistent feeling brake in all conditions and at any point in a ride - at least that I’ve ridden / the set I’ve ridden. But, I’m totally happy with Cura2/4, Magura 2/4, or SRAM Code brakes (as long as they’re bled with the pistons cheated in a bit) in terms of predictive lever pressure.
