because they've made the scrollbars so small they're difficult to hit.

No they did not make scroll bars small. It is just that no one has told them that screens are no longer 320x240, and they have not used a computer since they were.

Maybe UI decisions should be made by the under 70's? or over 18s?

Removing the middle button paste to assist non-computer users to not use computers is not an intelligent decision It is a screw-up.

Maybe, during install, one of the questions should be Are you mentally defective? If the answer is YES, then the middle button paste can be disabled.

I can't wait to have RETURN disabled so we can all get back to using CTRL-M.

I learned to use a sewing machine about 65 years ago, and was still able to use it last week to shorten some trousers. Yes, I did have lessons at one time, but I can still thread a machine without owning the instruction manual.

I can't thread an overlocker because my sight is too poor, not because I can't figure it out from what it does.

Most people can switch from petrol manual to EV without much sweat.

Someone is TEACHING people that changing OS is hard, but most manage to switch between Windows versions without tears.
I found switching from Windows XP to Windows 10 very hard. (I never used anything Windows in between).

Windows is a HORRIBLE security risk. I would not want it on company premises.
