Aren't you exaggerating when you say "most options"? You note only a
"single option".

Why does it take longer? Under 6.0.x, cdevs were sorted alphabetically
with a special cdev (usually General) placed at top. Under 7.0, you are
free to display the icons any which way you want, including the way
6.0.x sorted them, so what have you lost? Additionally, you can now
"type select" the cdev you want without having to hunt for it or scroll
to it first.
