It's this kind of condescending attitude towards users that keeps Linux a non-option for people. What happens when a user wants to install something that isn't in the repo? Or do you just imagine that "average users" don't do that (and that no one else matters)?

Edit response: It is condescending because it imagines the user is incapable or uninterested in the way their system actually works, as a mere pusher of buttons to make the blinkenlights go. Sure, some users are like that, but largely it is a convenient excuse to dismiss criticism.
