I guess maybe not everyone will agree with this, but I believe there are limits to what a person can be learn.
So, when techies ask people to learn arbitrary tech mumbo-jumbo, they have implicitly decided that this tech thing is more important than whatever else they'll lose/skip/forget to make room for it.
Making tech easy for people is respecting the fact that they may have other priorities in life.

I don't think this a terribly controversial view anymore. UX is generally a priority unless its just a personal or developer internal tool.
@frostotron I wouldn't have been inspired to toot that if I hadn't found myself debating these issues, more than once, quite recently...
There are loads of techies out there who think fixing the user is an acceptable solution.

#Simplicity is not easy to achieve but it is #easy to use, understand and learn.
However, until we complete the #Matrix #brain plug, to learn will always requires an effort.
And actually, if I learnt something from my daughters, it's that what is valuable always requires to sacrifice time, fatigue and effort.
