 This can easily devolve into a victim blaming like attitude. It's convenient for us to say things like this so we don't have to face reality. We should want this stuff to be as convenient as possible within the confines of specific principles. Currently, it isn't. The UX sucks for average people. It's difficult to be objective sometimes when you already had a depth of knowledge on a topic that most people don't. It's easy to forget how much time was actually spent getting there. Time you would not have spent if you were less interested in the topic. Not everyone is interested in highly technical topics, but that doesn't mean they should basically be told to fuck off. At least not if our goal is to grow. I'm not saying it is.
