As someone who is sometimes called to step in and help these non-technical people, I particularly enjoyed the moment when GDPR was implemented.

Non-technical people running wordpress asked me what cookies their website is setting and how to make the sites comply. I asked them on which basis they select and install the plugins they are running and how they know what these plugins are actually doing.

The short of it: they have no idea.
