Automobiles were very much the same. When they first started coming out, you really had to be a mechanic to own one. Autoshops/garages weren't a thing in the beginning. PCs were the same way. These days there's tons of auto shops and PC repair shops. You don't need to know a single thing about how a car or PC operates, you just take it to a shop when it has problems and have someone else fix it.
If an individual wants to learn, they only need to pop the hood, look inside the machine, and check out tutorials and videos on youtube. Plenty of people grew up with computers and never learned a thing about how they worked, they'd just have someone else who knew about them fix their problems.
We weren't forced to learn about them or had to, we chose to. That choice applies today as much as it did 25 years ago when I had to have my dad fix my computer for me. I just happened to want to learn how he did it and how to do it myself.
