"The light" you claim is that users should have the knowledge and discernment to consent to what a computer does.

To me, there's never been a case, except maybe in the first decade or so of the hobby/tinkering PC movement, where most users had this ability.

Should we just not use computers?

I don't think "should we just give up?" is a reasonable question to anything.
