Reading theory is absolutely a cool thing to do, and while everyone can and should read it, I do wonder if it's unfair to expect everyone to read it. I'm not convinced everybody's mind is conducive to that.

If someone can't do it, they can't do it, of course. But I also think the expectations for what an average person is capable of, in terms of engaging with complex intellectual ideas, has been dramatically lowered and some people are happy to be let off the hook.
