Charlie, all your concerns are addressed by Simon's offer to open F7 forced to a specific tab.

3) Typing (1) S and pressing the (2) <enter> key and the StylePicker opens instantly.

4) Right click on the Mixer or pressing (1) F7 and the MultiPicker opens and defaults to the RealTracks button. (wrong opens to last used) This obviously still requires additional steps and selections simply to open the (2) StylePicker.

5) What's the benefit to all users when the task at hand is to only change styles? There's no benefit making the S code redundant to the existing Right Click method, or F7 shortcut that opens a dialog window rather than the StylePicker and once the MultiPicker has opened, have to further select the Styles button away from the default RealTracks button? It's faster and logical to only do one thing to do one task. S and enter..........

6) prove to themselves the speed advantage, efficiency and logic of using the S code to open the StylePicker is a workflow advantage over using the MultiPicker if the task is to only change Styles.

7) If your project workflow is doing multiple changes, then of course, the MultiPicker is made for those circumstances.
Counter arguments:
1) This was already countered by Simon saying that a special key can open up the F7 with a tab in mind. Results exactly the same.
(2-6) Already solved by opening F7 to a specific tab.
7) A floating window can require zero clicks
FYI: F7 Toggles so it (1) click to open and use for all use cases, or close.
