While the generational diss train is fun and all I think it has more to do with design patterns of the most popular hardware at any given point.
Now at this current state, unless you’re seeking out a desktop an individual is going to have most of their “technology time” on a phone which have been overwhelmingly been designed for simplicity and ease of use.
When a barrier for entry and usability is low, it can be used by a wide range of people but that also means that most common operations are going to default to being fairly quick and easy. If the barrier to find “good” information is higher than the barrier for the entry point of the technology you’ll find most people settling for what’s probably “okay” information (even if that information isn’t actually correct)
