Interesting problem, I imagine many here grew up on computers not because it was valuable or strategic but because they couldn’t not, such was it’s draw. Learning the concepts by brute force was the norm, the idea of not knowing what a file, file system etc is is foreign because you’ve lived and breathed it for so long before higher education.
I guess there are people today who don’t fit that mold and approachability becomes important, shouldn’t be surprising.
