Modelers that don't have an idea of what a variable or an array is, animators who can't rig or script, that's what I call an average user.
Generalists with technical knowledge (including ICE) isn't your average user in any package. Most of the designers I know are specialists who don't use or even need ICE. I consider that you can't use Maya comfortably and to its potential if you don't have a minimum knowledge of Mel or Python, but the reality is that most Maya users can't script. I'd say that besides technical people, riggers or VFX specialists, only generalists that are usually involved in vfx or rigging have a decent knowledge of ICE. I don't have numbers but I'm pretty sure most SI users don't use ICE directly. Personally I rarely use it at all. Most of the projects (games) I've been involved in, have been done with SI 2011 and previous versions so ICE wasn't very useful for modeling until recently when I finally get to use SI 2013 and 2014 and that's because I also view some technical parts of our projects and use ICE in some of our tools. And that's how it is in the game industry here in Japan. Sadly, it is very probably that SI 2015 won't be used at all. And most SI users won't learn ICE before learning basic Maya, or Max, or Modo, or any other tool that isn't EOL.
