The non-technically inclined can easily download Facebook and the like, its nothing they're unfamiliar with. The big difference is whether or not a horribly out of date version of that app is permanently embedded in the phone's storage.

Without the play store? Which was wiped to make a clean android installation? :)

Maybe they could figure it out with some help but I'm certain that's frustrating for many consumers regardless.

Two different arguments here honestly. Apps should never be permanently embedded.
