"I'm a blacksmith and I expect every chef to be at least able to forge their own knife."

Uh, no? You are completely out of touch on other (non-programmer) people's backgrounds. They don't know what a kernel or even a terminal is. It's more than just copy-pasting commands from SE.

Exactly yes.

A chef, that for whatever reason cannot forge their own knife, better make friends with a blacksmith, and think about what they want when they want them to make them a knife.

They should not expect blacksmiths around the world to read their mind and make them knives for free. They should expect it's their own responsibility.
