Well, the user can work around the problem, if he/she is experienced enough with ngspice (subcircuits).

If you have a symbol with all pins of the complete IC (dual opamp, quad logic gate etc., including power pins), and you have a model file from the device manufacturer, that typically covers only a single unit out of the IC (e.g. a single amplifier plus power pins), then you have to define a new spice model file by creating a subcircuit that multiplies the single units. I have done this with 2 opamp examples (https://forum.kicad.info/t/ngspice-linkwitz-riley-24-db-simulation-error/17710/3, https://forum.kicad.info/t/newbe-wants-to-simulate-a-comparator-circuit-mint-linux-kicad-5-1-ngspice-version-unknown/17287/11).

You will definitely need to have some simulator experience.
