I don’t think there are many people who are unaware of akrasia itself.
There totally are, assuming we’re using the same or similar definitions of akrasia. Free Will / Bootstrapping are the dominant models of human behavior among everyone I’ve ever met, and akrasia and the possibility of limited willpower don’t fit well into those models (not without a diagnosis of some disorder or another, at the minimum and not in all cases).
That’s not “everyone”, that’s just Americans trained to affect a highly capitalistic worldview. I’m fairly sure if you look at their behavior you’ll find that they manage their own motivations just like everyone else.
