Yes, I think we agree. That would fit within my definition of "things" in "make things easier". They can only do more/better with computers if the software is built to support them in that. If instead we insist that people focus on understanding the computer rather than doing the things they want to do, then they will do less and/or worse.

I would be fine with users doing less with their computers, if they in turn understood how they worked and why we all get angry here about things like: politicians likening cryptography to criminal activity, companies hoovering your data from every site you visit, etc.
I see. In what areas are you prepared to make the symmetrical deal? That you'll do less and get less while investing more time in understanding areas other people are less expert in?
