Simpler one is, having your life extended by medical interventions doesn’t require proficiency because you’re not /using/ the technology in question, just paying someone else to use it on your behalf (specifically, on your body). Same way that world wouldn’t require someone to master calligraphy before dictating a letter to be written down by a secretary.
Weirder one is, failure to fast-track your kids through basic medical tech is considered a form of child abuse, on the same level as denying them social contact or nutrition, and for the same reasons.
Two explanations I can think of.
