People are using tech to do a lot more. 20 years ago tech was a thing you sat down at, turned on, and used to check your email, update a spreadsheet, or type up a document.
Now we're using computers and software every waking hour and using software with millions of distributed users that we expect to always show us the latest updates.
We're using phones for banking and payments, to turn our lights on and off, to keep a lifetime of family photos backed up and synced across multiple devices.
It has made things more complex, but I don't think a world of 1997 style configure-it-yourself software would necessarily help with that.
