My anecdotal evidence says yes. My wife was confused on how to "install an app" for something that wasn't in the Mac app store. She had been used to the iPhone/iPad model for so long that she had forgotten how it was on her Windows PC 10 years ago: if not in app store -> google company/go to company website, download the installer, install program. I feel like general computer skills have decayed quite a bit in the general public, especially with people who don't work with computers 8 hours/day. See this recent article: https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-directory-structure-education-gen-z https://www.theverge.com/22684730/students-file-folder-direc... The advent of the smartphone/tablet overtaking PC use for general/casual use, e.g. emails, photos, social media, online banking/billpay has really reduced the general public's skill level with desktop operating systems. Probably similar overlap with the subset of people who always dumped every file to the desktop directory instead of organizing files in specific directories.
