Why the ₣µ©₭ do noobs restore NAND at first sign of trouble?

There's always some post or thread about noob panicking at first sign of trouble and restoring their old NAND backup without making a backup of current NAND first. I guess it's better than not having a backup in the first place, but why the hell do they use it as the first option when it should be the last option?

I see post after post where the solution is something simple like deleting the Home Menu ExtData, updating Luma3DS, etc. But noobs just restore NAND sometimes without regards to a9lh preservation. Are they just stupid?

Is Idiocracy real?

Edited for clarity.

I blame Windows for this. If anything on Windows breaks, the usual "fix" is backup, reformat, reinstall.

Hence, the equivalent for 3DS, restoring eMMC. (...though that's skipping the "backup" step?)
