OK. History is on my side, though. Even something incredibly complex like a new BMW car hides it all under the hood, offering the driver only a better/safer driving experience that they may not even appreciate. Probably a professional driver can do it better than Joe Average, but as the technology continues to improve and additional features are added with zero extra visible complexity for the user, before long the difference won't matter. And then after a while the car will drive itself and then cars will start communicating with the roading network to improve efficiency for everybody, at which point even the experts won't be allowed to take the wheel any more. That's the technology progress path and while luddites may prevail against it for a while, the market simply flows around them and one day they realize that it doesn't matter whether their buggy whips are the best if nobody wants buggy whips any more.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
