A lot of it is also the mental structures you form, so you understand what a computer can and can't do easily instead of thinking it's all magic. You may not have the specific chops to write a program to do it, but you know that doing something to (x) files is just a loop with a if thingy inside of it. I think part of the "learn to code" movement is also hope that currently non-tech-literate people will learn to help themselves. Once you've googled "how do I do this in python" and found answers enough times, you (hopefully) gradually replace "All of this computer stuff is confusing! I need someone to help me with it. My cousin is good with computers. I'll call him." with "I got this shit. What up, google."
