And you will keep dreading it for as long as you use them, since you learn nothing from solutions served on a silver plate.

Just wait until they're not there anymore, that's when you realize what you sacrificed.
Does this apply to other services I use? Should I avoid using Google because when it's not there anymore I'll realize what I've sacrificed?
Not the same thing.
Using Google to find an answer is convenient, and I'm sure you would miss it.
But telling a machine to think for you outsources everything, once it's gone you have nothing left.
