Shit like that is how you got here in the first place. To make computers easy enough to be fool proof is to make them nearly useless and requires someone to administer the system (even if that someone is the genius bar at apple.)
The issue isn't access, its literacy. This shit was acceptable 20-30 years ago. But we're at the point where everyone who's at working age has spent most of if not all of their adult life at a time where basic computer use was considered a standard skillset.
Now that mobile OS's have been the norm for a decade or so, we have comp sci students who can't even navigate a fucking file explorer despite growing up on the internet.
Hand-holding design is a positive-feedback loop.
That being said you should probably disable, or at least severely limit their use for standard users in a corporate environment via group policy.
