Skill issue. People cannot just passively expect to understand a complicated thing without applying themselves.

Using != fixing.

Do you need to learn how to drive ("use") a car? Absolutely. Do you need to have intricate knowledge of its inner workings and be able to fix even the smallest component in case it breaks? No. That's for enthusiasts.

Its just as a society we've decided to enable them because it meant we could sell cars.
