I agree with a lot of things you say, but I think that “lack domain knowledge” is a better description than “stupid”. There are many people who have little interest in the underlying “how” and “why” of computers work. They haven’t been educated, more importantly they don’t want to be educated. They want to focus their time and energies on (What they regard as) more important things. I have two bright teenage girls who need to use computers every day to get school work done. But their focus is art and reading, and writing. Their eyes gaze over whenever I try to explain why their computer is behaving the way it is. My eldest did an amazing project in just a couple hours the first time she ever used Photoshop, removed a person imperceptibly from a old scanned image, realigned it to be upright from a mislaid scan, recolored it to make it look present day without oversaturating it. Most of this she learned from in app tutorials. But I had to show her how to save the file and explain file formats and the difference between cloud and local storage. She just didn’t care about that part any more than she needed to turn the assignment on. But how to use Photoshop is like another form of sketching or painting, so she ate those tutorials up like chiclets.
