I think it’s really interesting how people who aren’t familiar with computers never think to themselves, “there has to be a better way to do this.”

Sort of a communal learned helplessness. Years of abusive user interfaces and faceless corporations providing an all or nothing platform instead of modular tools leads to a mindset of "that's just the way it is and I have to deal with it".
