I'm outfitting a bike with some new parts, including a new bottom bracket (square taper). I realize that I'm going to require a 20- or 32- tooth tool to remove it - no problem. However, I'd like to make future maintenance easier. Can I replace my new bracket cups and retrofit the BB with something more user friendly (i.e. something that doesn't require a specialized tool)?

I originally considered some alternatives (Hollowtech 2 and Octalink), but I'm having a difficult time justifying a 3x price bump for a (theoretical?) performance gain and user-friendly outfit - considering I'm a recreational rider.

How can square-taper bottom brackets and cranksets be more user-friendly? The author of one YT video mentioned after-market self-extracting crank bolts (from the 70s). Surely there must be something much more awesome 40 years later.
