"This basic stuff should be a given at some point, somewhere around 10th grade maybe."

You know, that might actually be the big difference. In America at least, they no longer really teach grammar in grade school, so a lot of people reach adulthood without understanding the basics. A lot of writing tips revolve around grammar because, for a lot of American writers, grammar and spelling sadly aren't a given.

Our education system sucks.

This is definitely a problem--without learning the mechanics, it's harder for people to understand WHY something is wrong or unclear. People who are avid readers often get it more or less intuitively--something will sound off, even if they can't pinpoint the reason (grammatical rule) why, but not everyone will.
