Fast forward 16 years and almost all Bitcoin transactions are run through third parties.  

It's a shame, but I don't think people, for the most part, are going to learn.  The longer I'm a part of this, the more I become cognisant that most people don't truly appreciate what any of this is really for.

The option is certainly there for people to use Bitcoin in the correct manner if they wish to.  They'll be the rare fortunate ones to gain the privacy and security benefits.  I'll always advocate for taking this approach.  But I think the number will always be small.  Even if it is safer and more beneficial.

However, if the majority want to piss that gift up the wall and use Bitcoin in a way that completely sacrifices the security and privacy, that's their choice.  When the coins get stolen, or the exchange disappears, or all their personally identifiable data gets leaked, they better be aware of the fact that they have no one to blame but themselves.  

You get exactly what you choose with this.  On your head be it.
