Sadly true.
I worked for a few years giving IT courses and many don't want to know how. Oddly in the Business College Secretary class the girls with no prior computer experience learned more. In the Businessman / Executive "secret" one-to-one classes they either quickly gave up or employed me (or someone else) to create the spreadsheet, database or program realising that actually learning how to create these things was orders of magnitude harder than using one customised for their task (perhaps tracking Christmas toy orders made in the Spring).

You gotta remember, if you've forgotten, oh-out-of-the-direct-to-author-business-One, that most self-published authors do not think of themselves as PUBLISHERS. And don't see the need to behave as a publisher would. You and I think about these things differently than do they.
Yes, I know.

And most won't use styles, instead using Word as a kind of glass typewriter, though that's better than "ed".
