People need to learn how to use computers without installing malware. In almost every other field, it's normal and expected that people learn how to operate the tools properly; if they don't, then it is their fault. For some reason, technology has ended up different, and we dumb things down endlessly. I am tired of it.

Phones are not designed to be a specialized tool of a field. They are gadgets designed for a general audience of billions of people.

Because with computers there is a lot of freedom in how things can be made to work without adding extra cost to the product. They can be designed to be user friendly.
