Because end-users don't want to be educated. They just want it to all work.
They don't want to know *why* their connection is slow, they just want it to
be fast again. They don't want to know *why* all their files are gone, they
just want them back again.
End-users are very different creatures from sysadmins or power users or
whatever you all are. Treating them similarly will not bring you to a
solution.
