You're entirely correct. Part of the problem is the XKCD #927 "15 competing standards" issue. Most of the cryptography standards and common programs sucked for a very long time. Recently a few easy-to-use, hard-to-misuse programs and libraries have popped up, eg libsodium, age, minisign, KeePassXC, Bitwarden, Signal, and maybe Matrix if you stretch "easy-to-use" to the breaking point. But there are still a lot of crappy old standards, old programs, and old articles out there giving bad advice.
