Surely they shouldn't need to, any more than understand how a
microprocessor works

They do, if they're going to screw with it.


end users don't screw around with microprocessors and probably don't
even know which one is in whatever device they're using (nor do they
need to). they use whatever apps they need to do their work and then do
something else when they're done.

Well a good OS shouldn't allow the user to create so many problems.

A good OS allows users to accomplish what they need to do. For many, if
not most, that means running the apps that they need, but for others it
means being able to configure the hardware and OS for special purposes.


two different use cases.

a good os is optimized for one or the other, not both. a bad os tries
to do everything for everyone, and fails.
