Please do introspection, and try to see why I am saying that you are
doing those things, and only to you.

You are not fixing Customize, you're trying to get the author of wizard
to fix Customize instead.  If author doesn't use and know Customize,
and wants to make a wizard for generating simple init.el configuration
forms as a starting point for people, more power to them.  I wish that
existed when I started out.  It can always be expanded for Customize
support later, and you are free to work on that when the time comes.
What you're doing here is unhelpful at best.
