I agree with the general idea of what you're saying, but it's a slippery slope.
Most people I know personally would never take the effort to learn anything past the point of "Ask ChatGPT" when they have a problem. What happens when the model is wrong, or simply cannot solve the problem? Or maybe they have no network connection and cannot run something suitable locally?
At that level of coddling, then they might not even have the ability to find and open a man page, or edit a config file without a GUI. And that's a problem. It's not even Linux-specific. I went to school with "smart" computer science students who don't even understand file extensions or what a shortcut conceptually is.
What I'm getting at, is there needs to be some kind of balance, or people will just gradually become more useless.
Then why make GUIs, or software installers, or update managers? Let's keep the people in TOP FORM in case of an outage!
Hey, it's not like I don't agree with you, but actually I found myself learning faster in spite of the help. Having someone guide you through something is very educational, and getting things wrong is (sadly) a method of contributing a LOT of detritus into your brain.
"Let's see, I did this last time, but was that when I fucked up or when I fixed it?" I like it better just learning the right way.
