    Well sure, that’s true. How do you know that edge isn’t privacy friendly? What about the carpenter who just wants to use their computer to pay bills and google stuff? What about the old folks who don’t know how to install something? What about the people who just don’t enjoy using a computer and haven’t had the opportunity to learn about it?

    They’re no more stupid than you would be if you were using a cooking utensil the wrong way because you never learned the appropriate way to use it. Or if you use the space below your oven as storage for pans and cookie sheets instead of correctly using it as a broiler. Or maybe you have one that actually is storage. I wouldn’t know, because I cook simple meals and I’m fine with that. It doesn’t make me stupid. Nobody can know everything.
