Hasn't it always been this way? The only difference is now there are a lot more computer-illiterate people using computers.

Wouldn't say so. As Kovek so very nicely put it further up:

"Computer Literacy provides tools to interact with information."

Easy to forget the iPhone was ~2007, prior to this computers were still a fairly niche market and Android still in its infancy, computer literacy gave an advantage but computer illiteracy wasn't really a big disadvantage.

Now literally every industry from mom and pop stores to basic healthcare demand a pretty high level of computer literacy to the point they don't survive long without it.
