First of all just to make sure, I'm not disrespectful towards the developers. 

Over the years many people have complained that the Gimp Interface is not intuitive enough. A simple search reveals many of those conversations.
The response of the developers were most of the time rather dismissing which is their right to do. The general consensus is: if you don't like it, don't use it.
So, even constructive critic regarding the UI is not really welcomed.  

I do not think that is quite true, "many people complaining", tends to be a vocal few who come to Gimp from some other editor and want Gimp to change to resemble "other editor". Tends to be in forums like Reddit where people like an argument. The majority of users are not bothered one-way-or-another.

You can always post a feature request to the developers: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues There used to be a developer for the UI (back in Gimp 2.6 days) not sure about now.

If Gimp had a macro function you could record a few key strokes for your crop. Unfortunately we are stuck with script-fu.  A little script attached, If you want to try it, unzip and put crop-it.scm in your user scripts folder.
