"the techno-speak pathway that Linux has always done"
This isn't Linux-specific. I see it every day with my hundreds of Windows users.
"Hey, that error came up, but I just hit 'Continue'."
"Uh, which error?"
"That Microsoft one."
"What did it say?"
"I dunno, I just hit 'Continue'."
This isn't even computer-specific; just ask any mechanic how many customers are driving around with 'Check Engine' lights on. People just ignore warning flags if it inconveniences them, no matter how they're presented.
