so why give it too much responsibility?
I didn't say “too much responsibility”, but rather just “responsibility”.

Nowadays, the average Joe thinks that he'll always be able to recover his money somehow. That there's something similar to a bank behind; a “support” service. He may haven't acknowledged that Bitcoin isn't owned by anyone except him. That's why he may choose to not write down the seed phrase. (We've seen this incident too many times)

He has to understand that even if he dislikes being self-sovereign and want to have a third party, the transactions are irreversible. If someone fooled him, he couldn't do something to get his money back.

Bitcoin is an alternative database for accounting. People can transact peer-to-peer without any intermediaries. Thereby saving costs and saving time for depositors and recipients. There are too many people using Bitcoin nowadays so it's not as fast as it was when it was invented.
Bitcoin has economic and computer science value as it eliminates intermediaries in transactions, the scarcity over time, and the limited supply that keeps Bitcoin prices up; The scientific value of Bitcoin is the first blockchain. Thanks to Bitcoin, new ideas and concepts about blockchain were born.
