Grandma didn't customise her installation to put /boot in its own, small partition.
FWIW, you can run "apt-get --purge autoremove" to remove old kernels since at least 16.04 and maybe 14.04 (I don't recall). Not fully automatic, but at least it is one command. For fully automatic, you can install and configure unattended-upgrades and configure it to autoremove automatically.
