I definitely don't see it as hypocritical. Humanely designed systems are thoughtful in where they deploy implicitness. Implicitness can cut down on boilerplate for experts while simultaneously cutting down on confusing minutiae for newcomers.
On baked-in conventions, the implied design of a thoughtfully designed framework likely has wisdom that you shouldn't too quickly dismiss, and should at least fully wrap your brain around (along with the complementary design decisions in the rest of the framework) before diverging. The most baked-in assumptions in a well-designed system are the ones that exist for the strongest reasons.
