I think the article is wrong about two things. The iPad generation is less tech savvy. They grew up with tech that just worked. They don't know of IRQ conflicts or SCSI termination.
Also, I laugh at that quote from the 21 year old. Ah the arrogance of youth. They act like their generation invented social justice. They only know of social justice because they've been brainwashed into it. Which of course requires it to have been invented more than 21 years ago.

PnP and ACPI were a godsend. Fuck all that jumper bullshit back then.
They definitely were after the bugs were worked out.
They didn't call it "Plug 'n' Pray" in the early days for no reason.
At least a jumper gave us a method to make something work instead of being helpless to fix a firmware issue.
