I use to think this until I went to culinary school and got to teach a few middle school kids who came to visit us how to bake a cake. I got to know them, asked them the food they liked and if they cooked at all, and both said they didn't and they mostly ate out every night.
It is a learned thing, and know what the terms all mean only comes with seeing someone else cook and explain them to you. If your caretakers don't teach you base life skills, you are almost always likely to continue on the same path of not knowing how to do those skills.
I think we take base life skill for granted, and never really understand how we learned them. We tend to belittle those who don't have them. We should instead teach those without how to gain them.
