I think modern computers, tablets, phones, etc. are trying to force power users to experience technology as noob users. This is annoying for power users and can usually be worked around, but it's increasingly a form of ladder pull on the younger generation.
I don't think it started as that. It was probably "make this idiot proof so we can tap into the boomer market" which became "damn, this is so simplified a toddler can use it" to "oh an actual toddler can use it. How do we monetise this?"
