I'm in agreement and receptive to this piece in its broad strokes. Although, as some have pointed out some of the examples are a bit too obscure, like ssh.

However, I think the bigger problem with it is what I used to call a "Slashdot Attitude." If you don't remember or are too young, it was the "users are idiots/lusers" and "people should suffer like I did" i.e. non-constructive perspectives that were often expressed there. (Getting that vibe, although may be my own perception.)

I'd argue that the main problem isn't the ease of use, but rather the elimination of freedoms and privacy that prevents learning. A friend and I wrote our thoughts and hopeful solution here: https://trustworthy.technology/
