At my work we used to sell ramen bowls, where all the ingredients were individually wrapped inside a plastic bowl and all you had to do was open everything up, put it all in the bowl, and add hot water. Well, the prep instructions never mentioned removing everything from its individual packaging, and I had a customer complain about it. He said we really need to add “remove ingredients from their packaging” at the start because his son is cooking on his own now and is too stupid to figure it out, and would try adding boiling water to the plastic wrapped ingredients.
Now I know why every recipe includes steps like, “remove from packaging”.

Americans are why the world has warning labels like “Caution, product will be hot after removing from oven”
hey, some ready meals use containers you need to cook the food in.
