I think what the main problem with the vast majoraty of people is that they think of this stuff like an aplience. A desktop or a router, or a network set-up to begin with, are toasters. It should just work, and when it doesn't, fixing it is too much trouble when you could just buy another.

My mom has a very interesting theory on the subject. It was this same kind of complacency and dumbing down of the population that was at least part of what started to lead us down the path to the dark ages, and why we lost so much knowledge when what we consider the ancient world went down the toilet. It gets really fun when she starts applying the theory to the myth of Atlantis, but that's for another thread.
