With these different aspects in mind I wonder why you find the Visual Editor a dream to use, given that on average at most 4 in 500 of your edits https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Seddon_(WMF)&offset=20201127030700&limit=500&target=Seddon+%28WMF%29 (2 https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Seddon_(WMF)&offset=20200714140036&limit=500&target=Seddon+%28WMF%29, 3 https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Seddon_(WMF)&offset=20200218092358&limit=500&target=Seddon+%28WMF%29, 4 https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Seddon_(WMF)&offset=20200113155502&limit=500&target=Seddon+%28WMF%29, 5 https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions/Seddon_(WMF)&offset=20191017132130&limit=500&target=Seddon+%28WMF%29, search: "visual edit") are made using Visual Editor.
The visual editor is designed and optimised for editing articles, not pages on Meta-Wiki, and definitely not pages in the MediaWiki, CNBanner, and Template namespaces, which comprise over 50% of Seddon's last 500 edits. You readily arrive at quite different conclusions if you, for example, look at how many edits are made using the visual editor in mainspace on the different Wikipedias, rather than a staff member's account on Meta-Wiki.
Please let us avoid using misleading statistics to make a point.
