yeah, pretty much. using your computer is entitled. don't like that you have to run around and fiddle with a bunch of shit all the time to get your computer to work, or to use a nintendo switch controller on windows 10? too bad, that's just how shit is now.

More realistically I think they're just frustrated because a lot of them are legacy user kind of dudes that have been forced to learn a bunch of technical shit in order to do relatively basic things, or learned such in the past, and then kind of expect that to be the default standard, when realistically most people are just going to want to hit one, maybe two buttons and have something just work straight out of the box, because most people aren't IT guys and have other shit going on in their lives. They have their reasons for technical understanding being a kind of goal, right, like, oh, this increases your knowledge of your computer as something you interface with on the daily, oh, it's probably good if you know how to do this generally, oh, you have to know how to do this because nobody else is going to do that for you.

But then that all ends up being bullshit, because some corporation will come along, scoop up the uneducated userbase of all the larger profile vacuums in the space, generally, and then the corporation will provide them with like, the single button that does everything, in return for destroying any semblance of user privacy and totally ruining the modern internet and every facet of it by plugging monetization in every orifice they can think of. And then you'll get a bunch of people who complain that all the oxygen in the room is getting taken up by a huge corporate interest, so it's impossible to make competing standards, and how they no longer have any privacy, and how the users nowadays are just so stupid. They're completely faultless in all of this, of course, since they're tech-literate, and jesus smiles upon the tech-literate, even when they're being honestly just kind of mean and gatekeepy.

Realistically they just kind of retreat to their annals, right, to the smaller spaces that don't have corporate interest, until they interface with everyone else who's using normal shit, and they kind of lose their minds because they've been living in an alternate reality they've kind of constructed and pruned, and not actual hell, where an ad is served to them every five minutes.
