In an off-list reply I described it from Jane Bloggs' point of view.
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.

An earthling has got needs, that could cause completely irrational
behaviours.

Live long and prosper
