Edit: I was kinda hoping the response to this post would more be people joking about my Warhammer reference, but instead y'all be posting serious analysis here. Real buzzkill.

I was the one that helped my parents upgrade their latest computers and yeah it is pretty much this. Just being able to look into a problem and go "oh I should google this and see if someone else encountered this problem on a rando forum" makes you seem smart and in reality it's like nah I'm just curious especially since my job more or less suppresses that shit (I work in healthcare but not fun research healthcare). My parents aren't exactly rich but I have noticed them sliding from wanting to do things themselves into a more basic way of thinking that's common with boomers sadly that uses a lot more paid labor or dismissive attitude towards skill development. I enjoy a lot of art and tinkering, I was lucky enough to have been able to buy a trio of used thinkcentre minis last year with good storage before the RAMpocolypse went into full spring and have been playing with proxmox and creating home hosted services (mainly just for streaming movies, music and shows), I brought this up to my family on how much it can save money compared to having 5+ streaming services and it's like you've shown fire to a caveman.
