I love to simplify my life, and add automation, but lately all of it is just more and more ads, more and more AI nonsense that doesn't work, and the rest are half baked ideas that also don't work half the time, so honestly, if things automation, I'll keep my old fashioned life where I do more things which work fine and I don't have stupid ads , clueless AI, or half-baked features that don't really solve anything.

I'm not entirely clear if this is a rhetorical question and you wanted to vent for a bit, or if you're genuinely looking for an answer?
If it's to vent, then I kinda understand. It sucks to see someone you love suffer. It sucks again when you think you found an answer and they tell you no. Each time you try again and get your answer rejected, the feeling gets worse and worse until you start blaming them for their own suffering. I've been on both sides of that.
They tell you to stay strong. That love and patience will change their minds eventually. On a level, it makes sense. If a problem has been persisting for decades, it's kinda unfair to think you can solve it overnight. It's likely the solution is also going to take years. But then you spend the time trying only to find more layers to the problem.
If you're looking for some kind of answer, then the best I can offer is it's Trauma. We all go through our own traumatic experiences. Events so bad it takes away a piece of us and leaves us scarred. Those scars change how we each approach or avoid situations. Not many people want to relive their traumatic experiences, even if it would lead to better lives.
Sorry if it's not the answer you're looking for.
They're fucking stupid as hell. Also there's people that just hate change even if it's in their favor. The rest are pretending to be stupid because they are benifited by the status quo
As a kid in a Catholic family I remember my dad saying God intended man to live "by the sweat of his brow". No idea if it's a bible quote or what, I can just hear him saying it. But I think there's a mentality that life wasn't meant to be fun or easy, and therefore thinking it should be is a wrong thought. Somehow this doesn't make inheriting wealth and living in abject luxury evil or wrong, as long as you still have a work ethic. Or something, I dunno.
I've heard this before, and when I stopped believing in god I vowed that if god had an issue with me having an easy life he can come fist fight me.
I'd love the easiest possible life
Then achieve it. Adulthood has limitless opportunity. Are you over 18? Then achieve it. If not, then suffer in happy prison until it's over.
