I don't entirely disagree with you, but I think your wrench analogy only really works if the wrench sometimes thinks it is a screwdriver or a piece of wood for the majority of users, and only experienced highly technical mechanics can consistently guide it to remembering that it is a wrench.

The problem is that the toothpaste is already out of the tube in terms of what it's been hyped to be for the average person, and they are disappointed to learn that it doesn't really work that way. And there are many people who have not yet realized, or realized too late, that it's not appropriate for the work they're doing and its "assistance" is ending up in finished products in any case.
