Sketch Spline Tool is mostly useless - too many points !

Can't we adjust how many points ?

Better still - download Affinity Designer (it's like Illustrator)

... and draw some shapes using their pencil tool

(but turn ON 'stability' first)

Awesome !!

Also note how beautiful splines render on screen - what a joy !
