I think the post is overly optimistic. No, they're not "trying to learn." They're just not willing or able to do the simplest of tasks.

These kinds of users should not be accommodated or even responded to. Good UI/UIX should not cater to the lowest common denominator.

"These kinds of users should not be accommodated or even responded to"

Please let me know the software you have developed so I can develop something better and make those users you refuse to respond to happy. Especially if they are paying customers.

This mentality is what results in failure and leaves paths WIDE open for your competitors.

The whole point of UI design is to cater to the lowest common denominator.
