I get the sentiment that less tinkering causes less things to break, and there's some truth to that, but how do you avoid the "simple" tools you use from breaking? Underneath the apparent simplicity of a Chromebook or an Apple device is a mountain of complexity that can, and does, malfunction. Every time you update their software—which you're pretty much forced to—you run the risk of something not working as expected, or flat out not working. If you've never experienced this then your bar for failure is very low, or you've either not noticed it, or been impacted by it. This is mostly what TFA and the study are talking about. I'm sure that their subjects didn't include technical people who enjoy tinkering, but common users who use their computers as a tool. It's remarkable how often their work is interrupted by something not working properly. I'm actually surprised it's as low as 20%.
