No, not really. The complexity comes from the possibility to have multiple stores. Sure, if there is only one store configured then the "select store" step could be skipped, but then you'd have to move all store-display and -config stuff somewhere else. Such stuff should only be completely hidden if there is no possibility of there being different stores.

If there's some confusion regarding the stores then it's not because there are multiple ones, but because the particular implementation of this feature has a bad user interface.

And then there are the cases of unfounded confusion just because something is new. E.g., my mother gets quite confused every time something new happens, even if it's something utterly irrelevant, such as a new version of a program having a Help-button where the previous version had no button (and although she wouldn't need to use the help the mere appearance of such a button would confuse her for some inexplicable reason).
