There will always be a gap between the people who have the skills and knowledge needed to DIY a repair or an upgrade and the people who will never take on the mental effort needed to understand the world they are presented with. The difficulty level of fixing 90% or more of computer issues would best be categorized as EASY to VERY EASY and yet people are paid mid-5 to 6 figures to do them because of the same phenomenon. Most people, when their car stopped going forward when they press the go pedal would have a panic attack and call a tow truck. Being the kind of person who has the knowledge to identify the issue, trace it to its origin, and to craft a kludge strong enough to resolve the issue saved you a tow and a repair fee, but you can't assume that because it's easy for you it would also be easy for anyone else. I guess I'm just saying what we've all heard before, knowledge is power. Fixing your own car, or your own computer, or your own home is at some level knowledge work. Having the knowledge without the ability to use it is frustrating, so most people won't put the effort in to learn the knowledge until they have a use for it, and most of the time they won't have a use for it until it is too late to gain the knowledge.
