I just discovered the topic.
I would like to state that OP isn't entirely wrong. I mean, when I was a newbie (in the forum and in bitcoin generally), I needed a guiding hand to show me the road of cryptocurrency. I had really many questions about bitcoin and I continued learning because I was pissed off that I couldn't understand it. There are so many expert members here, but the problem is that you cannot put all that information in a newbie's head. If you search my first topics, you can see that I ask ridiculously stupid questions just because I was obsessed with the idea: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2775483;sa=showPosts;start=840
Anyway, I'm leaving the 6 month memories (
) and I'm focusing on what you've said.
You see the problem with all these you mentioned isn't that a newbie gets confused on what wallet to use or how to earn his/her first bitcoins. Not even if bitcoin is good or not. The problem, for a newbie, is asking these questions on a huge forum which leads on getting tons of replies. This forum is actually the best on fulfilling someone's questions, because of the signature campaigns. So what makes newbies confused isn't that electrum is more difficult than blockchain.com, but the 10-20 replies he/she gets within a day, that makes him/her not know what to believe.
I give an example. Me asking: How fast is the bitcoin network's spread? (something that cannot be answered from googling, at least I couldn't)

If a newbie asks how to earn bitcoin?
If a newbie asks what good thing about bitcoin? anonymity?

instead, teach them the basic about bitcoin which is a payment method where they can use online or they can do a person to person transaction
They already know that. They came here to learn more. They know that it is person-to-person (or peer-to-peer), they know that it is decentralised, they know that Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator that no one knows. But most of them come here everyday to find out the technical stuff behind.I give an example. Me asking: How fast is the bitcoin network's spread?
