Why do we treat people as if they're too stupid for this. This is nauseating.

They arent stupid. The information is opaque unless you are an enthusiast.

99% of people have no interest in installing an operating system. They have no interest in learning about different types of software installation. That's not stupidity, it's just preference.

Im treating them as too lazy and not willing and not as too stupid. And both lazyness and not willing to put in extra effort are completely valid reasons to not do something.
