A key component you are disregarding is that the internet was much smaller and pioneered by tech-savvy enthusiasts well into the late 90s. People her were perfectly willing to invest gyrations to make something complicated work.
Those days are gone. Though you may consider it entitlement people, generally, expect things to just work. They don’t want, and arguably shouldn’t have, to figure it out. Friction is friction and people have every right to express their discontent with friction.
I’ll argue that you insisting that people stop complaining places you in the same category as /u/spez.
