Because most people don’t really need a computer nor do they know how to use them.

There was a sweet spot for my generation where you got good at computers but the generations either side are equally as poor with them.

I’m a software developer who just build a custom rig for at home and I can tell you I rarely use it, as I want to do anything but look at a computer after doing it all day at work. I can do everything I need from my phone.

I can be a computer nerd at weekends.
