Yes the UI has become fluffier. But users have always just used first and most convenient way to do something.
They didn’t need to know how file system worked, they just put all their files on their desktop.

The subset of tech savvy users may be slightly bigger, but the majority never learned how computers worked beyond clicking around. That is in every generation. Our vision is just skewed because we grew up in a tech heavy environment.
