I don't think it's depressing. It's a fairly simple principle; if people have more than one option to do/read/learn something, they're going to choose the easiest approach. That's just common sense conservation of energy.

T-Nex, you may find the book 'The Design of Everyday Things' by Donald Norman interesting. It's more about design of objects and machines, but it still has useful principles that you can draw out.
