Actually, that would make it easier to fall for a phishing page. My browser extension will only offer to fill example.com. If I'm on exarnple.com, it won't. This makes me say "hmm, why no match for this page? ah! the domain is different". With a notebook, I'd happily type the password in just the same.

PEBKAC isn't really an argument greater than a Strawman. If you're saying operators can't be trusted to be competent you might as well argue that these people shouldn't own computers or cellphones, or kitchen knifes or other things that require a minimum competence.
