I tend to find we more tech savvy people vastly overestimate how tech savvy the average person is.

However, I suspect you are right about the people interested in home automation eventually hitting that point and coming across Home Assistant.

Home Assistant have done a great job reducing the barrier to entry. Significant improvements in UI editors and all but removing the need for any YAML config for an average user. Plus the Home Assistant Yellow and Green meaning you no longer need to know how to set up a server and can instead buy a hub off the shelf. Surely these efforts are a big part of why the number of installations has increased so much.
