That one's a slightly bigger issue, but only slightly. I liken it to people having to understand how roads and signs work to be able to drive. Why we enable such people who proudly decline to learn how to use their tools completely eludes me.
I get the impression that to you, many things are "tools", that to most people are just boring facts of life. Like traffic lights, income tax forms, cars and mail boxes, web browsers are to most people just a necessary evil in life, rather than some fascinating "tool" they're interested in spending time learning about it.
But that does not change the fact that you have to learn it, as you have to learn how to use a screwdriver.
