Yes I have heard several independent sources (all personal anecdotes only) that many teens/young adults are not framiliar with basic computing tasks such as navigating the file system. Because their experience has primarily been this kind of mobile-first "cloud" stuff. Design is streamlined enough that you don't need to know where your file resides. It is all hidden from the user.

I can understand why schools distribute chromebooks but it is a terrible disservice to the students to allow such a limited experience of computers to pervade.

Teachers are their own IT department too in all this so keeping simple where possible is important.

With the way everything else is going I don't know if learning libreoffice is really a worthwhile priority over growing and storing food, metal shop, construction and permacomputing.
