It's most certainly not funny when you've lived it. My mother is routinely frustrated by her android phone I bought her due to unending UI tweaks.

It's striking how to us software developers what is an exciting new feature or nice cosmetic change is nothing more than a pain point for many people. Digital devices to many people are tools not toys. When we realize this, it's easy to understand how a change is not fun for them but merely work.

Sorry, I didn't mean it's funny dealing with your parents, I know that feeling myself. Rather that they phoned you because their phone didn't work.

Ah, I see now :) I didn't catch the irony there before. My apologies fory hasty comment.
