As your wording suggests, that's fundamental
for you... not necessarily for everyone else. Lots of people see computers as devices for recreation, not just work, and therefore don't have trouble reading from them after working with them for hours.
I understand how you can feel that way, plenty of other people do as well, and there's nothing wrong with that opinion. We just have to understand that it isn't everybody's opinion... and apparently, it isn't even the majority opinion. Yet.
