    And there are probably many users that do all of this due to being afraid that things might just start breaking, or that more actions they don’t understand will be required to keep the system rolling, if they stray from this path for even a little.

      Yeah, there is a very large part of society that tends to default to “if I change anything, I’ll probably break it. It works now, so I won’t change anything.” It likely has a lot of overlap with the “you touched my computer eight months ago, and it stopped working yesterday. Whatever you changed must have broken it” population; anyone who has become the de facto family tech support will know exactly who I am talking about.
