When trying to use Google to find something obscure, I'm not so much bothered by the difficulty of doing so as I am by the implication that "real humans" don't use complex search queries. They used to teach in computer literacy courses how to use search engines, complete with complex multi-term boolean queries, to find exactly what you're looking for. Now try the same with Google and you're a bot? WTF? They're basically saying "humans are too stupid to do that - humans are supposed to be stupid."

Or that a lot of their target demographic has never been taught that, and so they've optimised their delivery to be accessible to the majority?

Well to be fair most of their users probably are too "stupid" (aka were never taught) to do that.
