If it was dubbed, probably once I got my first computer I'd have a way harder time understanding at least the tiny bits I did understand.

So you were already reading. What about younger children?
That said - I fully agree, I’m surprised I don’t speak with a Star Trek accent given where I had most of my early exposure to English.
