What the hell were the designers at Chrysler thinking

Just replaced the IAC (idle air control) on my mom's 03 Dakota 3.9.

Even though it's right on top and easy to see...

There's just barely enough room to get a torx socket and 1/4 ratchet on the screw but you only get 1/4 turn because the handle hits the cowl. On the other side, that same setup gets "trapped" between the screw being removed and a hard line, and there's a bracket in the way, preventing you from holding the socket with your other hand to keep it from spinning the screw back in.

All this while your wrench hand is angled with the wrist bent backwards.

Took at least twice as long as it would have if the obstructions would have been engineered away.
