But email is so difficult, you have to choose between all the clients and the web version.

And look at all those servers! I'll never be able to choose between Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo. It's too difficult as if my life depends on it. I've heard people at Gmail make fun of Yahoo users, and Hotmail users are capitalists. The pain is unbearable. I'd rather keep my good old fax, at least I can trust it.

People have been using email as a decentralized platform for ~~years~~ decades (and soon a century), and they forgot how to use a computer so much that they can't translate this to other concepts?

You're telling me the quoted text isn't being sarcastic?

As someone who used to work in IT support, that mirrors real conversations I had daily with people you'd all expect to be competent.
