It's a school, and people are there to learn. Knowing how to maintain a computer is a pretty darn useful life skill.

Indeed but in a class on geography it can make the teachers life easier if the students can focus on the 3-7 applications you want to use throughout the year and those are 1 click away rather than a download+install procedure away. Not every class will want/need to teach computer maintenance.

If you want teachers & students to use tech it needs to be truly frictionless.
