Oh, I certainly know why it's happening. It's basically the situation in Heinlein's "Waldo": The user/operator needs to have faith for the device or system to work, and faith in technology has been undermined. As this leads to more failures, faith decreases further, in a positive feedback process. That's why a Willpower roll enables a device to function, and why more advanced technologies need rolls against higher difficulty.

Not all of my proposed conspiracy theories even hint at the true explanation.
