What exactly do we want the general public to "do" with these models? If the have no use for agentic LLMs, they obviously aren't going to be interested in the capability of those agents.

I see a lot of benefit to spreading information around the tech, but it's still in its infancy. Most people weren't on the internet when that was getting up to speed.

Meemaw and pops have their systems that they work within, and they just got familiar with the damn smartphone. Though it might help them, they probably do not want AI to organize their old photos or "clean up" their computer. Saving 5 minutes just isn't important to them.

As for professionals, yeah - companies are going to adopt these tools over the coming years. It's the "norm" in my circle, but lots of jobs just... don't use technology like that - there has ALWAYS been a major gap between people who are deep in tech and people who are not.
