You wildly overestimate the average person's willingness to do that.
Their willingness to do it would primarily come from the fact that they have a job to do, and if their co-workers are doing their jobs because they followed the instruction and they are not, then the boss is going to have a nice look at them.
This relies on the assumption that everyone else, or at least a significant portion, in the office managed to do it.
I'm not talking about whether or not they're actually physically capable of it, of course they are. Im talking about how people immediately shut down and pretend they can't follow simple directions the second something relates to a compute.
Mmmm. Fair point
Yeah but there’s also always one guy in the group (me) who knows what they’re doing and could just spend an hour doing it for everyone else.
