Oh I understand this more than most I'd bet. Back in December 2022 through February 2023 the amount of Bitcoiners that didn't understand how to register a Nostr address with nostrplebs.com because they didn't know how to use Lightning still blows my mind. Many had never used Lightning, had a node with zero channels, or didn't know how to get on-chain to off-chain. I helped so many people open their first Lightning channels, setup their nodes, or recommend/install a wallet.

And if I'm being honest, a lot of them I had assumed were in Bitcoin much longer than me. I'm fully convinced that 2021-2024 Bitcoiners were born into Lightning and use it much more so than Bitcoiners from previous cycles.

On a related note, can you try a zap again? I think I fixed it. Thank you.

Having first discovered bitcoin in 2009, slept on it for awhile because I didn't have an account to move money in, and finally bought in in 2012 or so, I can definitely confirm that it's really easy to blink and miss eons of development in the Bitcoin ecosystem. It may feel slow to grow if you're staring at it all day, but look away for what feels like a second and the whole universe has changed.
