I mean, for gen alpha, that's an intentional effect. Tech is becoming more and more obfuscated by design.

You mean being made easier for normies?

Year of the Linux desktop and day now.

Ballsy of you to assume that it got "easier for normies", the answer probably lies in asking "easier for what?". Computers have been redefined as consumption devices in a scheme to extract maximal profit out of their captive users. So it's certainly "easy" for a growing number of users baited into dark patterns to hand over their credit card details and get addicted to antisocial networks and whatnot. But using modern devices as traditional computers, with intent, as a productive tool? It got much harder, except maybe for the Linux users, normies and "geeks" alike.
