Techy people are a lot more likely to jump through a couple of hoops for something better, compared to your average Joe who isn’t even aware of the problem

Techy people are a lot more likely to jump through hoops because that knowledge/experience makes it easier for them, they understand it’s worthwhile or because it’s fun. If software can be made easier for non-techy people and there’s no downsides then of course that aught to be done.

It’s not always obvious or easy to make what non-techies will find easy. Changes could unintentionally make the experience worse for long-time users.

I know people don’t want to hear it but can we expect non-techies to meet techies half way by leveling their tech skill tree a bit?

I started using Twitter in 2009. It was just techy people back then. Things are allowed to take time and grow organically.
