People are scared of non "friendly" UI. It seems that unfortunately majority of people can't analyze a program's environment and decide the next course of action. They either don't even see the search tab or can't act because of fear.
Interesting thing is that you can extend this phenomenon to many other things. Inability to analyze and act accordingly.

Conservatives always whine about tech being too hard to understand and that the therein too complicated thing must be "degenerative to society," when the thing they're complaining about it having to run "sudo apt get update && sudo apt get upgrade".

Tbf when people say this, i don't think they're usually complaining about typing in commands. I think debian has package manager GUIs that do basically the same thing and there isn't much of a difference to the user.

What people dread is typing 'pacman -Syyu' and having to deal with package conflicts, signature verification failures, the install/upgrade process choking on an invalid filesystem state or other hard to comprehend errors( which is reasonably common with rolling release and why it's objectively the worst type of release model). The update is done on the command line precisely because these interventions are an expected part of system update, consequently arch users are expected to parse pacman output and deal with the pile of issues that tends to build up over the months.

At least it's in your phones **
