I have the opposite impression! I find it's hard to think of any other tech product where users expect to master it with no training at all. I think people get tricked into believing they need no training because the tool uses natural language as the UI.
You learn how to use a spreadsheet or a word processor, how to drive a car, sail a boat, play a guitar. In the 90s there were courses that spent hours teaching users how to work a mouse and keyboard!
Of course you need to learn how to use a coding assistant as well, it just makes sense.
There has already been a million words written about how to use LLMs from people who don't really know how to use LLM's. Everyone is learning, there is a boom, you can make a fortune selling knowledge about LLM's whether you have that knowledge or not.
