All of these shooting modes are Program preset configurations,

photographer with some insight would replicate and improve on their
settings ... I don't think it's expected that experienced
photographers would want to use them.
But for novices and people who don't aspire to being a
photographer, they make getting a decent shot simple.
Forgot to add...
Remember how novices and non-photographers will tend to use the
camera: they won't read the manual. They'll see little pictures and
just try them. If they like the result, life is good, if not, they'll
try a different one. No need to actually understand how they work,
eh? That's why they have little pictures on them...
That's what is meant by "simple" ... without reading or
understanding. ;-)
