What's the problem. You can just walk up to a wall to wall row of
checkin machines and be done in 10 seconds, or stand in line for hours
with 2000 other punters snaking round the tape barriers and check in the
old fashioned way. Your choice.

The OP made the point that for some people, using the self check
terminal is very difficult.

Perhaps. A lot of people don't even try, or otherwise get distracted
with "I can't do this" rather then looking at the screen.

You are also assuming everybody travelling is able to
understand English, which is what most of these machines
use.

Yes, and I'm willing to make exceptions for those who can't operate the
machines, as opposed to those who can, but won't try.
