Not at all it made perfect sense the way it worked before. If you wanted to add something to the home screen you pressed it long press and then you had options to do wallpaper, widgets whatever and you pressed wallpaper and it gave options where to get them from (stock wallpapers, live wallpaper, then specific apps that you could get them from). That is not endless menus it is two and hardly excessive. Perfect logical sense and anyone with half a brain cell could figure it out once they knew there was a menu there.
That last part highlights exactly why it was removed from the menu. It was unintuitive, it didn't make any sense from a user perspective, and it was just totally poor design. That, and if you had a hundred widgets, you'd have to scroll through, hope you chose the one you wanted in the size you wanted, and then put it on the home screen.
The problem here is that they are trying to follow Apple's example and dumb down the UI and that is a mistake. It took three major releases for Apple to even give them the option to change their wallpaper. If something like that is too complicated for someone then they have no business using a smartphone.
No, that's not at all correct. The UI is no more dumbed down than gingerbread. Its been cleaned up, in a significant way, and its much improved for it.
