Nor should they. Good news though, it’s on by default in any recent Windows which supports it. So a great many millions of users are using it without needing to know or care.

Bullshit. The User should be able to get at every implementation detail. These things should be discoverable. A tech that cannot be learned except by some esoteric priesthood is a failed tech.

A tech that just works automatically without having to learn it seems even better.

But I suspect it's not actually that hard to find; users just have no reason to care.
