This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Remember when normies couldn’t even find what they wanted via normal web searches?

This seems like that.

maybe it was a mistake to lionize a corporate monopolist to the level where we ostracized people for not being “good” at using their trap of a product

My school had a class in the early 2000's on how to use a search engine. It certainly wasn't just about Google, at the time.

Are you telling me you never had that painful experience watching someone else use a computer to perform a search and struggle to find basic things? It's possible to be "bad" at it.
