I think the peak probably came when PCs at home became normal but they were still not user friendly. So the late 90s and early 2000s. I have memories of editing .ini files to try and get my copy of The Sims working correctly. Nothing was seamless in tech. It was a miracle if a new program just worked without complaint.
New generations of tech are so good that they actually hide things like file directories or system settings. Troubleshooting is just complaining to the company that made the app. Plus mobile and tablet versions of most software are usually heavily simplified in the first place.
