That's not a valid conclusion.  There is no proof there -- those
millions of users are mostly blind to, and blinded by, the technology.
Those millions of users are still getting raped for no good reason, and
while at the same time their masses are holding everyone up w.r.t. the
many improvements in technology which would make use of computers more
efficient and less costly, they are also paying over and over again for
upgrades that do not solve any of their real problems and which do not
bring along any of those improvements we should all have had decades
ago.  Trillions of dollars have been wasted on unnecessary upgrades of
PCs in the USA alone, never mind the whole world, and things have gotten
worse not better.

(most everything else you said though I agree with!  :-)
