Can you blame anyone? The population of users who want plug and play is like four orders of magnitude larger than the population of tinkerers.

I am not blaming anyone. But the same was mostly true when FOSS was young -- most users wanted convenience, not tinkering. But early FOSS supported tinkering regardless, probably because FOSS was frequently a hobby, developers (not users) did want tinkering and built it for themselves.
