We are slowly working towards such a future and common users by and large will appreciate it, but it's not going to be the future most tech nerds envision it to be.

We as tech nerds value our ability to power user, but this is quite simply at odds with the interests of common users. Things like further and further abstractioning of file systems, further and further integrations of operating systems with online accounts and other internet services, further and further "appliance"ing of computer systems, etc.
