I feel like you've got it the other way around: high computer literacy as the assumed default was a result of devices and interfaces that were impossible to use without it. It's the same thing with cars: a lot of people not knowing how to maintain their cars is the result, not cause, of car designs and machinery becoming more durable and more idiot-proof. |

Apart from some details like responsive web design and other miscellaneous interoperability and accessibility efforts, the past few decades of interface designs were not progress.
We gimped the living shit out of everything to narrow the scope of every product and extract more money from the consumer.
I mentioned AI because tech is only becoming a dead end when the consumer choice is illiteracy. It's pretty clear that's reversing and people do want a lot more information and control.
