Why do you use Techbros as a derogative term here? How does it contribute to the discussion?

Why is it gatekeeping, if you ask for UIs that are not only optimized for the most novice user, but also for more advanced users? I'd say it is the other way around. People designing UIs that can only be used for the most easy tasks are gatekeeping. They are keeping out the power users or those who want to become a power user. I've often wondered whether the lack of a smooth path between tools for laymen and tools for professionals is the true reason why it is hard to use computers for more than content consumption.
