You have a high opinion of the average idiot being able to navigate any of this. These are people that are confused by a two button mouse...

And you generally have a shitty opinion of people and their ability to navigate technology.

As with most things, it's generally a cost benefit of convenience versus effort. Anyone can learn anything or transition to something else if they're willing to put the effort into it. It's just that most people aren't willing to put the effort into most technologies and that's their prerogative.

I work in IT man. The average person is incredibly tech illiterate.

You get paid to be at least competent at tech. Most people do not.
