In reply to Chris Cree.

I agree about the thinking that shortcodes are meant to be user friendly for non-technial people. So makes me think is part of this step implementing something like the Shortcake (Shortcode UI). Which a lot of plugins and themes already have different button to add shortcodes with a nice simple UI so maybe it checks if it has that if not adds it own?

All just my own thought and would be inline with how they have been changing items such as galleries, images and video display actual content.
