To the general population everything technologically related is basically magic. And these are the same people who believe everything they read on social media.

It's the result of poor education or zero education in STEM. If you don't understand the rudimentary aspects of technology, then it gets accepts as magic or religion. See AI and Elon Musk.

Even with proper education, most people don't have a reason to care enough to be knowledgeable about technology.
