Having easy access to them has everything to do with a frontend. 
As for the likes of HG3x being "eye cancer", I have to wonder why people enjoy living in a binary world. If you don't like something that's fine - don't use it. There's no need for histrionics and comparing it with cancer. For me, HG3x vastly improves the image on my LED monitor. I use it as a default. There are some games I like old school - Galaxians is an example where no image enhancement is preferred - but otherwise, enhance away.
I do appreciate that Mame developers are primarily interested in preservation. I get that, and am wholly on board with it. But I also enjoy playing the games, and as such, I don't need fake scan lines, jagged edges, and the like. I prefer the game with some "enhancements". It's not the end of the world is it?
Now - the Mame front end, I'm guessing, will provide access to command line options through an interface. As such - again only guessing - it won't have autofire the enhancements. I put it in here because, with those two additions, we wouldn't need half a dozen different front ends any longer - there'd be one (on windows anyway). Unless you want to go all out and have a more aesthetically pleasing graphical look.
Anyways... I expected to be told it would never happen, but some go way over the top. This is Mame, not world war.

If I was the maker of MAME then I would've call it RetroMAMESS. Part MAME and Part MESS.
