I’ve used “real” em-dashes and en-dashes in my writing generally since I switched to using Macs about 20 years ago. Before that I used them for e.g. academic writing, which I mainly did in LaTeX, but not so often elsewhere.

They’re simple enough key combinations (on a Mac) that I wouldn’t be surprised if I guessed them. I certainly find it confusing to imagine someone who has to write professionally or academically not working out how to type them for those purposes at least.
