Ok, I'm gonna bite, what actually is this amazingly deep meaning and motivation behind their work? I really like Devo but I haven't gotten this yet. So devolution, some sort of parody poking fun at the dumbing down of modern society or something?

TL;DR Crackpot theory that humans were reverting back to apes and the kent state massacre influenced Mark Mothersbaugh to form Devo as a response to these sort of atrocities. It was an artistic reaction against the failings of modernism in its promise of moving toward a better life through the assurance in fact, science and reality. In a way it could be seen as one of the earliest post-modern mainstream bands.
Just google Mark Mothersbaugh; It'll blow your mind.

what about zappa and co? what about retarded protopunk like the monks? (you really should relisten them) what about Can and Kraftwerk to some extent? all of them had much more depth because they werent straight up postmodern manifesto, but they were self-aware units of musical and cultural postmodern fusion.

I'm pretty certain that the masses don't know who Devo are, much less care enough to be able to misunderstand them

>influenced Mark Mothersbaugh to form Devo
It wasn't just Mark. Gerald Casale was the one who thought up their interpretation of "de evolution" with Bob Lewis.
And Mark Mothersbaugh doesn't really even care much about Devo anymore. Their last album practically didn't ever get released.
