The average person doesn’t care. The average person doesn’t even know what a browser is. They think a browser is The Internet.
They think Google is the internet. They will most likely type Google into the search bar to get to Google.

It’s been a decade since I have done professional computer repair, but the lack of knowledge that people had always shocked me. I don’t mean surprised me, I mean outright shocked me with their ignorance. They just don’t care, and don’t want to care. Computers and the internet aren’t that important to A LOT of people, and no, they’re not all old.
I think you are describing less than half of the population. It probably varies by region but to say that's average is not a fair statement.
