For Jane Bloggs it's easier to to go with the flow. From her point of view almost everything works OOTB, it at least works in an expected way. Even to have a whining can be shared with all the other who go with the flow, too. Terrible experiences of live in a peaceable country way more often cause personality disorders, than the same terrible experiences cause in war zones, where a huge group of people have got the same experiences. It might be less hard for Jane Bloggs to lose important data, while this happens to all her friends, too, than to have a notebook with a new WiFi chip, that isn't supported by her operating system, but supported by the operating system used by all her friends.
