If they are included though, it shouldn't be difficult to hide them out
of the way. If there are only a couple of extra modes (excluding basic
and scientific), then the extra modes could be accessed with the buttons
at the bottom (the controls that appear on a swipe from the bottom).

If there are many modes, they could be enabled (or even downloaded as
extensions) in the settings, which will then add them to the controls as
previously mentioned.

So, the basic and scientific modes are accessed through gestures, and
extra modes are in the bottom controls.
