Part of what happened is schools stopped teaching the muggle kids basic computer skills, assuming "they're young so they must innately know this," and went all-in on locked down Chromebooks for everything. The average household doesn't own a computer, just uses phones, and schools took away the only opportunity for them to have exposure to real computers.
