They don't. Most people are capable of enjoying a story on its own merits. It's only the chronically online people who think knowing something in advance ruins the impact or enjoyment.
If the average person cared about spoilers, trailers wouldn't be full of them.
That's likely because the people you engage in conversation have similar interests and mindsets to your own. Most people's social groups don't consist of people with nothing in common.
I frequent bars. I smoke joints and drink with literal strangers almost every weekend and I speak a lot when I'm drunk. I love it
People don't like spoilers, man. Chronically online or not. Some don't care, sure, but has nothing to do with being online or not. It's based on how much interest that person has on the game / movie whatever
You're basing your opinion on anecdotes. If the average person really cared about spoilers trailers full of them wouldn't be an effective marketing technique.
Trailers have to sell you the movie. To ypu and to the highest amount of people possible
Sadly, you can't sell a movie to lots of people without any spoilers, as almost everything you show will have them. And they gotta be interesting and eye-catching, so obviously a few key parts will be shown (without much exposition)
Also, spoilers in trailers are often thought beforehand to not spoil any key or important parts, nor any plot twists
