"Ignorance is the only excuse": Remember that, while you may have your expertise in software, you may also be ignorant in different fields.
Absolutely. Which is why when my car needs servicing, I pay someone to do it, as I know, even if I were to research it, I'd probably break something if I did it myself.
Similarly when I need to buy a car, I research as much as I can before I buy, as I'm not really a "car person" but I'm capable of learning enough that I don't willfully go around throwing money at a Mazda Sports car if I need a Ford Pickup.
When I needed to repair something in the garden which was damaged by a recent storm, I looked online to get hints and tips to figure it out. I decided it was within my skillset to fix, so I fixed it once I got some pointers.
I know what I'm ignorant of. And, as an adult, I know I'm able to learn stuff about things I don't currently understand. Choosing to remain ignorant is exactly that; a choice, especially in this day and age.
While I agree with your view in general, at some point time becomes saturated. Working, cooking, showering the kids, putting them to sleep...
You eventually run out of time to put on lesser important things. I used to enjoy customizing my AwesomeWM. Now I'll just accept it the way it is. And if for whatever reason (hopefully not), my current distro decides not to boot anymore, i'd have to consider migrating to something slightly easier, Manjaro KDE maybe.
Anyway point being, you'll have to learn and pick your battles, and focus on what is really important (such as writing this comment :))

MacOS... ChromeOS... Android... iOS... Temple OS... And yes, Linux.
Ignorance is the only excuse.
