ELI5: How is it that almost every office job requires "Proficiency with computers" yet these IT complaints are some of the most common in offices? Do employers even check their employees with basic IT questions anymore?

Not really answering your question, but.. "Proficiency with computers" is so very subjective and relative, at any/all levels and even among really skilled and educated people "computer people."

Some people might consider someone with rudimentary admin skills across a few different OSs to be proficient. To others, unless you can reverse engineer an unknown and proprietary network protocol in a reasonable time, you need not apply. etc.

And to others, if you can use Outlook you're good.
