No, they (we) think about other things.

I still use my Mac when I want to use a computer to do something
completely unrelated to playing with computers.  Most recently, I used
it to create my business cards.  I just launched Photoshop and went
creative.  I never thought about printer configuration, IP forwarding,
swap volumes or "apt-get dwim snarggly --noinstall || Mail -s help
scohn".  I was able to concentrate on finding the right shades of blue
and aligning the blocks of color and text.

The SGI user environment people had a stereotypical user they liked to
design for called the UIBP, or Unix-Illiterate Bright Professional.
Somebody who's smart, skilled, and entirely uninterested in learning
Unix arcana.
