3/ E.g. to take a screenshot on Android you have to press & hold the Volume Down & Power buttons simultaneously. How does one discover that?

4/ I've been using Android for 5+ yrs & *just* found out that I can swipe up on the home screen to see all of my apps. Accidental discovery.

5/ The "make it super intuitive" design trend makes it hard for casual users to become power users. It's a shame. I hope the trend reverses.

I kind of agree, but I think better tips or command discovery could live alongside easy onboarding.
