Having computers that work well for casual users is actually pretty important. Too many people here are dismissive. Anyone who has had to help elderly relatives should know the value of computers that works like an appliance and can't easily be screwed up.

Having our own computers customized to our every whim is less important because we can cope. By contrast, when something little goes wrong for less technical people, they might be blocked entirely.

The problem is they are still having trouble but I cannot help them as often as I used to.
