That's a rude, tactless thing to say. People in many fields simply don't need more than a cursory knowledge of computers.
For example, I was talking about veterinarians. They need to type records into a web browser, but that's about it.
Veterinarians spend their time learning about things far more valuable to them. For example, which painkillers are safe to use on a cat recovering from surgery, or how to precisely drill into a dog's spinal cord to remove a fluid buildup that's robbed it of the ability to walk, or how to stabilize a dying animal in the emergency room.
These are the least "dumb" people imaginable. They do not need "upskilling" - they went to four years of medical school. They have more important things to do than figure out computer arcana.
