It's not this black and white. There's a whole spectrum of computer savviness of computer users during the "Home Computer Generation". I didn't learn programming during that time, but I learned all sorts of things about computers that lead to me eventually having a career as a software engineer. And I'm sure there were many who did create software/graphics/etc but didn't "contribute it to the scene".
