We aren't taught or encouraged to explore or experiment by our educational systems. We are taught how to do something, and then don't question it. There are tons of people that cannot meaningfully play with Lego without assembly instructions. The idea of trying something out of the norm from what they already know never enters into their head.
Like, back in the day, I literally discovered I could drag and drop files directly into the "upload" area on some websites and it would automatically post the file to the site. I didn't even know it was possible, I just out of the blue wondered if a browser can work like a drag and drop file manager and just went ahead and did it.
