I guess part of the reason I find the can opener story so egregious is that I myself, despite my total lack of handiness and aversion to the manly practical arts, am old enough that I just always remember knowing how a can opener works and can't imagine having to learn it

It's like if you knew someone who speaks English as a second language and they don't know what some word means so you challenge them to "figure it out from context" rather than just telling them You're just being an asshole

You, yourself, never overcame this challenge at any point You know what the word means simply because you grew up speaking English It's one of those things you're just supposed to know, and not knowing and having it become a challenge is just bad luck

maybe you watched them open cans without it being something special - so you don't remember a special "teaching" moment and especially not such a cruel one
