I'm inclined to feel it's just another level of useless annoyance.  I
don't see it stopping fishing when people just respond to hackers as if
they were a legit company, following all the instructions from the
hacker to compromise themselves.

I've also said for a long time that computing is not many people's
forte, they don't have the aptitude for it, and they shouldn't be
forced into it.  Don't make seniors have to keep their pension,
banking, medical data, etc, organised on-line.

I was always surprised when people who could barely read would ask me
to fix their computer for them, which they were doing a lot of reading-
related activities on.  Don't know why they wanted to do something they
clearly hated.
