You're probably sarcastic but

paste this random line in the run prompt (or what's it called) and run it

Hmm

    It opens the run dialog, which I’m sure the vast majority of Windows users have never heard of. This would trick a lot of people who just trust whatever their computer asks them to do.

    It's not sneaky, it's just people are morons and fall for the simplest shit

    Not everyone knows everything. Actually, nobody does.

    Computers simply became an easily available necessity, thus you get a lot of computer-illiterate people using computers.

    Perhaps it would've been fairer to say that they're morons when it comes to computers

    Fairer to call at least 80% of people morons because they don't know one specific computer feature that is mainly used just by IT people?

    Seems like the only moron here is you.

    Of course it's fairer. Before it meant that they're all around idiots. Now it just says they're idiots when it comes to computers. There might be aspects they're not idiots in, but if they're running random commands, computers isn't one of them.

    Seems like the only moron here is you.

    Not when it comes to computers but in some other things for sure

    Not morons, just not educated enough about them to understand exactly what the implications of that action are.
